Bowling Reaches #7 in NTCA Top 25 Poll
(1/1)
IAA Fan:
For the third straight month, the Youngstown State bowling team has reached a new peak in the National Tenpin Coaches Association Top 25 Poll.
The Penguins were voted into a three-way tie for seventh place in the March poll release. That is one spot higher than their positioning in February, and it is the highest ranking in program history.
YSU received 1,003 votes, the same amount as Duquesne and defending National Champion Stephen F. Austin. While the Penguins moved up one spot from a tie-for-eighth in the February poll, they received 244 more points in the poll.
Youngstown State is one of five schools from the Southland Bowling League in the top 10, joining Sam Houston State at No. 2, Vanderbilt at No. 4, Arkansas State at No. 5 and SFA in the tie for seventh. McKendree holds the top spot in the poll with 1,637 points, receiving 41 of a possible 43 first-place votes.
Youngstown State's final tune-up before the Southland Bowling League Championships will be next weekend at the Columbia 300 Music City Classic. It will be YSU's fourth straight trip to the tournament, which is held at the Smyrna Bowling Center just outside of Nashville, Tenn. The conference tournament will be March 20-22 in Conroe, Texas.
