The Wichita State women’s bowling team placed seventh in their first tournament of the season this weekend. 

The team placed third in Baker, a bowling style where the whole team shares a single game, which allowed them to advance to the round of eight before losing to Ottawa University. Wichita State’s women’s junior varsity placed first in the tournament, beating Newman University’s junior varsity squad.

In Baker bowling, Wichita State bowled a 9246 for third place. They were beaten by Mount Mercy University, who bowled a 9379 and Newman University, who bowled a 9323.

The women’s bowling team will be the 16th varsity sport added to Wichita State next year.
