NORFOLK, Va., Jan. 7, 2020--The 2019-20 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) bowling resumes this weekend with two schools in action. Delaware State and Monmouth will participate in the Stormin’ Blue and Gold starting on Friday in Las Vegas.
 
The MEAC’s 11 bowling programs have been off since the next-to-last weekend in November, when Delaware State, Maryland Eastern Shore, Monmouth and North Carolina A&T State all competed in the Eastern Shore Hawk Classic.
 
Monmouth’s Saige Yamada was named MEAC Bowler of the Week back on Nov. 26 after finishing second overall in the individual standings at the Eastern Shore Hawk Classic with a traditional pinfall average of 220.0 -- just .20 from the top bowler.
 
Yamada broke the 200-pin mark in all five traditional matches, including a season-high 249 against Vanderbilt.
