The Golden Bears (59-37) opened Sunday with back-to-back wins over Caldwell (4-2) and Franklin Pierce (4-0) to put themselves in the third-place match vs. Saint Francis (PA). KU was particularly strong vs. Franklin Pierce, posting 200+ scores in all four games.
 
KU led 3-1 through four games in the best-of-seven match, but Saint Francis (PA) charged with three-straight wins, two of which were 200+ scores, to earn the 4-3 comeback win.
 
For the third straight day, a different Golden Bear led the team. Freshman Laura Hartley (Mt Pleasant Mills, Pa./Midd-West) stepped up Sunday with an impressive 21.18 frame average across the three matches.
 
Alexis Case (Ocean, N.J./Ocean Township) posted an 18+ frame average for the second-straight day at 18.9, while fellow sophomore Angela Kozma (Beachwood, N.J./Toms River South) rounded out KU's top trio at 18.7.
