READING, Pa. (Jan. 28, 2012) – In the second round of the three-day Kutztown Baker Invitational, the Saint Francis University bowling team posted a 16^th-place showing in the 28-team field during the traditional match play.

Similar to yesterday's quad baker matches, the Red Flash (41-28) posted a 2-4 overall record for the day's round of action. SFU earned wins over Howard and Bethune-Cookman, before falling in four straight matches to No. 1-ranked Valparaiso, Vanderbilt, Morgan St. and Wisconsin-Whitewater. The Flash fell by just 23 pins to the top-ranked team in the nation. A 997 in game four of the afternoon to Vanderbilt was SFU's highest total game score and helped lead them to a total traditional game pinfall of 5,325.

Freshman Christina Leid (Ephrata, Pa./Ephrata) threw the highest traditional game average for the Flash with a 196.66 mark in all six games. The Ephrata, Pa. native was the only SFU bowler to compete in all six matches and rolled her highest game, a 227, in the fourth match against Vanderbilt. Fellow freshman Briana Ord (Lititz, Pa./Warwick) and sophomore Heidi Baumert (Lincoln, Neb./Pius X) were the only other Red Flash bowlers to throw individual games of over 200.

Saint Francis competes in the final bracket style round of the Kutztown Baker Invitational tomorrow morning into the afternoon.
