Indianapolis, IN - This past weekend the Judson Eagles competed at the Hoosier Classic in Indianapolis, IN.

On the Ladies Varsity side, this team had a solid performance finishing 14^th overall in over 65 of the top teams in the country! The Eagles came into the tournament ranked as the #1 NAIA team, and the defending champions of the prestigious event. 

On Saturday, the team came out solid with a 967 game but then ran into some struggles the following 3 games then finishing strong with a 976 game 5 to finish in 23^rd place after day 1. 

On Day 2 in the Baker portion of the event the team came of the gate on fire shooting games of 185, 197, 205, 256, and 244 to catapult us from 23^rd to 11^th only 71 pins from the cutline of the top 8.  Set 2 was solid but we weren't able to cut into the deficit and was out by 81 pins heading into the final 5 games. 

In set three things just weren't going our way and we had a high game of 190 in that set so we finished overall in 14^th place but was encouraged from Sundays performance moving up 9 spots from the end of Saturday!   

Led by Junior Standout Madison Davenport who averaged 199 on the weekend and struck 56% of the time on Saturday and was 80% on single pins on Sunday!  Sophomore standout Payten Kusilek continues to bowl very well as she averaged 194 on the weekend with a 90% single pin percentage, 74% multi pin percentage and struck 46% of the time on the weekend!  Freshman standout Jenna Pitts was a major contributor as she averaged 194 off the bench for her 3 games and was a stellar 91% on single pins and 90% on multipins on the weekend. 

Senior Paige Carpenter put up a 187 average and was 88% on single pins and 70% on multi pins for the event.  Junior Cassidy Davenport had another solid performance as she averaged 174 on the weekend but put up a fantastic 47% strike percentage on Sunday as well as 90% on single pins on Sunday. 

Sophomore Piper Ennett contributed off the bench on Saturday and was 100% on fill percentage on Sunday and freshman Joss Collins was a major part of the teams energy throughout the event!
