CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. -- The Campbellsville women's bowling team earned its first hardware of the season Sunday, taking home a silver trophy as the Green River Classic runners-up. Together, the Lady Tigers knocked down 6,456 pins, while the University of Pikeville took out 7,116 to win the title.

Chelsey Stephens, a Frankfort, Ky., native, also brought home some hardware of her own, taking the individual runner-up title. The junior is coming off of an excellent off-season where she placed 10th at the USBS Intercollegiate Singles Championships in April.

CU head bowling coach John Rausch is excited about what the results mean for the rest of the season. "The girls did well all weekend," he said. "I'm looking forward to a lot of good things coming from this team."

At the end of competition Saturday, the Lady Tigers were in second in the team standings with a 4,243 pin count, and competitors St. Catharine and Morehead State were close on their heels, each with over 4,000 pins. In the baker games on Sunday, CU expanded its second-place position, but couldn't quite catch the dominant Pikeville squad.

In the individual games Saturday, Stephens finished the five-game series with a total pin-fall of 944. Her best game was the fourth in the series, when she bowled a 235. Senior Kaylee Kaminski took 12th overall, knocking down 847 pins with her best score a 199 in game five. Crystal Land, a freshman, finished 28 pins behind Kaminski for 16th place. Her best score was a game four 196, giving her a five-game total of 819 pins.

In 22nd for CU was freshman Shelby Smith, with a total pin-fall of 766. Aleesia Hunt and Mercedes Cote, also freshmen, finished in 27th and 32nd, respectively.

Keysha Martin, Haley Roehl, and Justice Burchett each bowled four games and claimed the 38th, 39th, and 42nd spots.

CU also had a women's JV team entered in the competition. They took fourth of four, but their overall pin-fall of 5,369 rivaled some of the varsity scores and actually beat Lindsey Wilson's score of 5,366.

The sixth annual Green River Classic, hosted by CU at Phillips Lanes, spanned two days and consisted of both individual and team competition. Trophies went to first and second place teams in both the varsity and JV competition.

All tournament individual medals went to top five individuals.

Lady Tiger Bowling will head to Bowling Green, Ky., this weekend to compete in the Southern Kentucky Classic at Southern Lanes on Oct. 4-5.
