The Braves finished second in Friday's tournament with a 4,696 total for five team games. Gerilynn Delegarito made the All-Tournament Team in fifth place with a 993 pinfall for five games.

In Saturday's tournament, Ottawa finished seventh with a 4,419 pinfall for 25 baker games, bringing their overall total to 9,115 and qualifying them for Sunday's matchplay bracket in fifth place. There, they beat Missouri Baptist 4-2 in the quarterfinals before dropping the semifinals 3-4 to McPherson.

Coach Poston's Thoughts
"Ladies fought with some of the best NAIA teams in the country and held their own. We can beat anyone in the country when we do what we know we can do. We have been going nonstop since Labor Day. It's time to give them a little rest going into the holiday break. Make sure our business off the lanes is taken care of and be ready to go after the break and prepare for the Columbia, MO tournament and then Vegas".

The Ottawa bowling teams continue their seasons at the Columbia Cougar Clash from December 6-7 at AMF Town & Country Lanes in Columbia, Missouri.
