Hanaway took seventh overall with a 202.40 average, backed by a high game of 236 against Adelphi. Teammate Sromovoski was in close pursuit, placing eighth with a 202.20 average and three 200+ games.

The Golden Bears (53-39) used Sromovski's 226 and a 181 by Hanaway to edge host Wilmington (Del.) by the slimmest of margins, 892-891, to open the day. Meghan Ripley (Bel Air, Md./Fallston) added a 163, while Kamryn Brenneman (York, Pa./Central York) and Brooke Heimbach (Boyertown, Pa./Boyertown) each rolled 161.

The Maroon and Gold also topped 900 pins in a 914-865 win against Long Island University. Sromovski led the way with a 237 score, best of any KU player on the day. Hanaway followed at 198 and Ripley at 182.

Despite a 201 from Hanaway, the Golden Bears dropped their fourth game of the day to Molloy, 941-840. Miranda Pielhau (Waretown, N.J./Southern Regional) stepped in to roll a team-best 220 against Bryant but the Bulldogs emerged with a 972-904 win to relegate the Golden Bears to 3-2 in traditional play.

Kutztown ranks sixth overall with a score of 4,502 and a 180.1 average. The Bears will face Dominican (N.Y.), Niagara and St. Thomas Aquinas in Baker format play Sunday before the teams are matched up based on qualifying position for a best-of-seven Baker match to close out the tournament.
