The Saint Vincent women's bowling team wrapped up a "home" weekend with a pair of local tournaments, winning the Wildlife Classic with a 5-0 record, after finishing second in the Brother Pat Lacey Memorial Tournament, with a 4-1 record.

SATURDAY - BR PAT LACEY MEMORIAL
On Senior Day in Latrobe at Lincoln Lanes, the Bearcats won their four preliminary matches in convincing fashion, before falling in the championship match to Lewis University.  

SVC opened the day with a 914-681 win over Ursuline College, with Brooke Street posting the top score at 206.  SVC then defeated Penn State-Behrend, 959-741.  Three Bearcats topped the 200 mark, led by Kaylie Kurland's 215.  Street added a 213 and Mareana Pilyih finished with a 208.

In game three, SVC defeated conference rival Alvernia University 944-840, and again a trio of Bearcats broke the 200 barrier.  Pilyih shot a 217, while Street added a 216, and Daphne Stuber finished with a 202.  In game four, Stuber led the way with a 226, followed by Pilyih (205) as SVC defeated D'Youville, 952-847.  Total pins through the first four games were used to set up the title match, and while SVC finished ahead of Lewis University in total pins for the day, the visitors won the title match 966-929.  Lilly Houle posted the top score with a 210, followed by Street's 204.

For the day, Street earned Tournament MVP honors with a five-game score of 1025, a 205 average.  Pilyih (202 average) and Stuber (190 average) were also named to the All-Tournament team, finishing second and fifth, respectively.

SUNDAY - WILDLIFE CLASSIC
The venue changed to Wildlife Lanes in Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania on Sunday, and the format for the day was five round of five Baker team games each.  The Bearcats struggled in the first round but won the day's opener over Pitt-Bradford, 846-738.  SVC then defeated the University of Indianapolis in round two, 937-846.  The team had its highest round of the weekend in match three, defeating Pitt-Greensburg by a score of 1006-612.  Round four was a rematch of Saturday's title game, and SVC avenged the earlier loss by defeating Lewis 922-828.

The championship match pitted #1 seed Saint Vincent against #2 Alvernia.  Both teams struggled on tough lane conditions, but the Bearcats prevailed with a 100-pin victory, 859-759.

For the day, SVC was led by Pilyih, who averaged 194.3.  Skyy Nicholls was second on the team for the day at 192.4, while Street averaged 191.9.  Rounding out the top-five were Houle (187.7) and Stuber (174.2).  

Saint Vincent is now 9-1 in NCAA competition on the season.  Next up is a trip to Bradford on the weekend of November 14-15 for the first Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference tournament of the season.
