The SVC men's bowling team wrapped up the weekend in Dayton, Ohio with an 11th place finish out of 24 teams in the Roto Grip Classic, hosted by Wright State University.
 
SVC found itself in 18th place early in day one, eventually climbing to 14th place by the end of the round.  The Bearcats then started strong on day two, rallying to 10th before finishing the tournament in 11th place.

DAY ONE:
The Bearcats got off to a slow start, shooting a team score of 892 in the first game on Saturday.  Eddie Zuzak led the team with a 215, while Brandon Dunmire added a 194.  It would prove to be the team's lowest game of the day, as they gradually worked their way up from 18^th place.
 
In game two, SVC shot a 986, with three scores over 200, led by Michael Fekete's 220.  Zuzak repeated his 215 score, while Josh Marks had a 201.  In game three, SVC shot 949, led by Fekete's 216.  Zuzak (199) and Brandon Dunmire (197) each had "clean" games with no open frames.
 
Game four proved to be the team's best of the day, with a 1066 score.  Anthony Strickland started the game with 8 strikes, en route to a 268 game.  Alex Vickers finished with a 225, while Zuzak had a 207 and Fekete shot 202.
 
In game five, three Bearcats topped the 200 mark, Zuzak (213), Fekete (209) and Strickland (207).  The team finished with a score of 981, holding 14th place, just three pins out of 13th.
 
For the day, Zuzak led the way with a five-game total of 1,049 (209 average), while Fekete also stayed on the plus side of a 200 average, at 1,023 (204.6).  Strickland had a three-game total of 642, an average of 214.
 
For the JV, Alex Colecchia led the way with a 989 score (197.8), while Nate Horton finished at 985 (197.0).  Ethan Dutka had the team's highest individual game, a 223.  In game two, the entire Bearcat squad topped the 200 mark, with Garrett Contee's 216 leading the way. 
 
DAY TWO:
The Bearcat varsity fired on all cylinders to start the day, shooting a four-game Baker block of 913, an average of 228.2, to jump four positions.  The team followed with rounds of 827, 793 and 780.
 
Dunmire started the day with eight consecutive strikes, and led the team with a per-frame average of 23.82 for the session, a game equivalent of 238.2.  Strickland finished at 23.77, while Zuzak averaged 21.07.  Vickers closed the session at an even 20.00.

The JV was led by Horton's 18.90, while Colecchia finished at 18.22.
 
The men's team will now be off until the start of the second semester, when it hosts the Greater Pittsburgh Collegiate Classic on January 15 at Lincoln Lanes in Latrobe.
