Aggies Still Alive in NCAA Bowling Championship
NORTH KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- North Carolina A&T State went 1-1 on the first day of the NCAA Bowling Championship Tournament Wednesday at AMF Pro Bowl Lanes.
Only one of the top four seeds made it through without losing. The Aggies (56-9), the third seed in the national tournament, had to battle in the first Mega Match against Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) champion Prairie View A&M before beating the Panthers to advance to play Arkansas State later in the day on Wednesday.
"It was close, closer than we hoped for," head coach Kim Terrell-Kearney said on the Prairie View A&M win. "We haven't seen Prairie View, but I know the talent they have, so we knew that we had a battle ahead, and it showed. I'm super proud of the kids. They never gave up and fought until the very end."
The Panthers won the traditional match 1,003-866. PVAMU then led by 72 pins, 642-570, after the first three baker matches. But N.C. A&T outscored the Panthers by 99 pins in the final two baker matches to win 1,030-1,003. A&T's win forced a best-of-seven Bakers series.
