Cumberland Women’s Bowling Moves On In The Mid-South Tournament Behind Multiple Dominant Sets

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Phoenix takes care of business as they move on to Friday's matches in the main bracket.

Cumberland Women's Bowling watched on in the first round of the Mid-South Tournament as they were the No. 2 seed due to their 31-3 record in conference play. The matchups are decided in three sets, the first is a standard game with five bowlers, then its five baker games for set two, and if it's tied in set two, it's a best-of-seven baker game series.

Their second round matchup would be determined by the winner of the No. 7 seed Union Commonwealth and the No. 10 seed Brescia. Union Commonwealth would be able to sweep Brescia 2-0. The other matchup in the first round was the No. 8 seed Lindsey Wilson facing off against the No. 9 seed Campbellsville, with the Tigers winning in three sets 2-1, and a 4-2 win in set three.

The Phoenix won the first set 924-776, and in the second set, won by even more with a score of 944-757. Cumberland was able to put the most points up by any team in a single match, not including the three set matches.
