THE VILLAGES, Fla. –
Professional Bowlers
Association Hall of Famer
Pete Weber of St. Ann, Mo.,
the 2015 PBA50 Player of
the Year, began work
defending that crown by
winning the PBA50
UnitedHealthcare Sun Bowl
In The Villages presented
by Rad ica l at Spanish
Springs Lanes.
Weber won his fifth career
PBA50 Tour title by defeat-
ing two-time PBA50 Player of the Year and tour-
nament top qualifier Ron Mohr of Las Vegas, 204-
162, in the title match.
“I’ve always bowled well here,” said Weber.
“I’ve made the finals here three out of the last four
years and was hoping it would just be a matter of
time to get a win.”
Weber, a winner of 37 titles, including a record-
tying 10 majors on the PBA Tour, was helped by
three open frames by Mohr, who missed two 10
pins and a four pin. Mohr, an eigh t-time PBA50
Tour titlist, was trying to end a nearly four-year
drought without a win, with his last coming in the
2012 Senior Decatur Open.
“I feel bad for Ron but he’s the type of guy that
will bounce back no doubt about that,” Weber
said. “We’ve all been there.
Sometimes when you miss
an easy spare, that frustra-
tion can make things worse.
We were both having trou-
ble tha t game— I could
bare ly get a double.”
The win solidified a good
start to the season for
Weber who finished fourth
in last week’s season-open-
ing Pasco County Florida
Open.
“I’m feeling good physi-
cally and my game is in a
good shape so I’m looking forward to another
good season,” Weber added.
In the semifinal, Weber beat PBA50 Tour new-
comer Joel Carlson of Omaha, Neb., 268-223, to
advance to the championship match.
In the opening stepladder match, Carlson beat
four-time PBA50 Player of the Year and 12-time
PBA50 Tour winner Tom Baker of King, N.C.,
224-213, and then went on to beat 2015 PBA50
Rookie of the Year Mike Scroggins of Amarillo,
Texas, 268-217, to advance to the semifinal.
PBA Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli bowled
three 300 games which tied the record for most
300s in a PBA50 Tour tournament with four other
bowlers – Mohr, Bob Kelly, Joe Scarborough and
Walter Ray Williams Jr.

WICHITA, Kan. - Hastings jun-
ior Emily Eckhoff and Robert
Morris-Illinois freshman Daniel
Hanson captured individual
titles at the 2016 IntercollegiateSingles Championships.
Eckhoff defeated Fairleigh
Dickinson's Morgan Brown,
227-222, at Northrock Lanes to
become the first player in ISC
history to repeat as champion,
while Hanson defeated San Jose
State's Darren Tang, 203-174, to
garner the men's title.
CBS Sports Network will air the
semifinals and finals for the
men's broadcast will be May 17
at 9 p.m. Eastern.
In contrast to last year's victory,
Eckhoff had to come from
behind to repeat.
Brown could have doubled inthe 10th frame to shut out
Eckhoff, but she only was able
to strike on her first offering.
Eckhoff, who made a ball
change earlier in the game,
calmly doubled in the final stan-
za to capture her second consec-
utive ISC crown.
"This is the greatest feeling
ever," said Eckhoff, who was
selected as a National
Collegiate Bowling Coaches
Association Second Team All-
American. "I knew I needed to
come out aggressive, especially
after making a ball change.
Once I made that ball change, Iknew I needed to throw the best
shots of my life. And, I accom-
plished it this time . This is the
greatest feeling ever, and I'm
still shocked by it."
Eckhoff earned her spot in the
finals by defeating Webber
International's Tawni Vollmer,
208-188, in the semifinals,
while Brown bested Stephen F.
Austin's Stephanie Schwartz in
the other semifinal, 210-162.
In the men's title match, Hanson
struggled early with opens in
two of the first three frames, but
a timely ball change, and back-
to-back opens from Tang inframes eight and nine, provided
Hanson the chance to shut out
Tang for the win. Hanson deliv-
ered two strikes in the 10th
frame to seal the ISC victory.
"I just tried to stay as calm as I
could," said Hanson, who rolled
a 300 game during ISC
Sectional qualifying to earn his
spot in Wichita. "Obviously,
you look up at the scoreboard
when you're in that situation,
and I saw I could get the ninth,
and two in the 10th (frame), to
pretty much lock it up as long as
I stayed behind the line on the
third one. So, I just said 'calmdown and throw the best shots
of your life.'"
Hanson defeated UNLV's Dallas
Leong in his semifinal match,
212-180, opening the contest
with four strikes in the first five
frames to set the tone. In the
other men's semifinal match,
Tang survived a late scare from
Robert Morris-Illinois' Kenny
Ryan to advance, 218-205.

Webber International Women, McKendree Men Take Intercollegiate Team Championships

WICHITA, Kan. – The
McKendree men and the Webber
International women claimed titles
at the Intercollegiate Team
Championships.
McKendree defeated William
Paterson, 3-2, in the best-of-five
title match to capture the program's
first Intercollegiate Team
Championships title. On the
women's side, Webber International
knocked off Wichita State, 3-1, to
raise the Kerm Helmer Cup.CBS Sports Network will air the
women's championship match May
24 at 10 p.m. Eastern, while the
men's final will be shown June 4 at
noon EDT.
William Paterson jumped out to
an early 2-0 lead and found itself
one game away from earning the
school’s second national title, and
first since 1992. But, McKendree
seized the momentum in the third
and fourth games, capturing 213-
152 and 225-190 victories, respec-
tively.
“Being down 0-2 was no different
than what we experienced during
the entire tournament,” said senior Riley Smith, who was a member of
the 2013 ITC runner-up team. “In
match play, you’re going to win
games, and you’re going to lose
games, but it just matters when it is.
We happened to lose the first two
games, but we win the next three.
We happened to lose the first two
against Webber (yesterday), but
that’s OK, we can win games, too.
That’s the mindset we have, and we
understand that.”
In Game 5, McKendree held a 24-
pin lead after five frames, before
William Paterson threw three con-
secutive strikes in frames six, seven
and eight. The Bearcats countered
with four strikes of their own before
an open in the ninth frame gave thePioneers a slim chance at victory.
William Paterson sophomore
Jake Rollins needed to strike out in
the 10th frame to force McKendree
to strike or spare in the final frame
to claim victory. Rollins left a 2 pin
on the first offering, which he
spared and followed with a strike
on the fill shot. McKendree needed
just nine pins in the 10th frame
from sophomore Greg Young to
secure the program’s first national
championship, and Young delivered
a strike to record the win.
“This means everything,” said
head coach Dennis Knepper, who is
in his eighth season at the helm.“They were getting up and going to
workouts at 6 a.m., having practice
until 6 p.m. and keeping their
grades up. They committed to what
we were looking for. This is a great
group of kids. Plus, it’s been a
blessing having Bryan and Shannon
(O’Keefe) onboard because they
want the same thing I want.”
The McKendree team Smith,
Young, Shawn Bibee, Billy
Goodman, Alex Martin, Ryan
Mooney, Ryan Patterson and James
Stanley.
In the women’s final, Webber
International struggled out of the
gate, dropping the opening game to
Wichita State, 207-177, but evened
the match in Game 2, 230-215.Game 3 would prove to be the dif-
ference as Webber’s Tawni Vollmer
stepped up in the 10th frame and
tossed a double to seal a victory,
203-196.
“I think team-wise that was defi-
nitely the momentum we needed,”
said Vollmer, who claimed her first
ITC title with Robert Morris-
Illinois in 2014. “I think, personally
for me, doing that, and knowing I
could do it for my team, was really
what I needed to do. So, I think just
being together as one, and obvious-
ly the momentum going into that
game, was what did it for us.
"It’s just unreal. Truly a teameffort. I’m so proud to be able to
call these girls my teammates. I’m
so proud I could step up and be
there for them just as much as
they’ve been there for me through-
out the entire season.”
The Shockers, looking for their
10th ITC title and first since 2009,
began Game 4 with hopes of
extending the match, struck in four
of their first five frames. But,
Webber had other plans. Despite an
open in the first frame, the Warriors
struck in seven of the next eight
frames on the way to a 238-213 vic-
tory and their third ITC title.
“It’s a great feeling of accom- plishment and hard to express into
words,” head coach Randy
Stoughton said. “They work so hard
to do what they came here to do,
and to see them perform when it
means the most, as a coach, is the
most rewarding thing. I can’t tell
you what this group means to me. I
just love them. They’ve worked so
hard, they’re good people and great
bowlers.”
The Webber team included
Vollmer, Taylor Bulthuis, Verity
Crawley, Rebecca Czlapinski,
Desiree Negron, Daria Pajak, Kelly
Skalacki and Tania Yusaf.
Jessica Mellott of McKendreeand Jake Rollins of William
Paterson were the tournament’s
most valuable players.
Joining Mellott on the women’s
all-tournament team were Crawley,
Thashaina Seraus of Maryland
Eastern Shore, Daria Kovalova and
Laura Plazas of Wichita State.
Joining Rollins on the men’s all-
tournament team were
McKendree’s Smith and Young,
followed by AJ Chapman of
Wichita State and Nick Pate of
Midland.

By Bill Vint - PBA
PORTLAND, Maine – Helped by
the first perfect game in Professional
Bowlers Association League histo-
ry, the GoBowling.com Dallas
Strikers advanced to a PBA League
Elias Cup showdown with the 2013
Elias Cup champion GEICO New
York City WTT KingPins.
The semifinal round matches
aired on ESPN, with PBA Hall of
Famer Pete Weber leading the
KingPins to a dramatic best-of-two-game victory over the hometown-
favorite Shipyard Brewing Portland
Lumberjacks while Weber’s long-
time opponent and fellow Hall of
Famer Norm Duke inspired the
Strikers in their 2-0 sweep of the
Barbasol Motown Muscle at
Bayside Bowl.
In the first semifinal match, the
KingPins, behind Mike Fagan, John
Szczerbinski, Scott Norton, Weber
and anchor bowler Marshall Kent,
used superior strike power in the
last half of both games for a 223-
190 and 237-222 sweep of the
Lumberjacks.
Norton, after leaving a 4-6-7-8-10
“Greek church” in frame three of
game one, stabilized the KingPins
with strikes on his next three
attempts while Kent, PBA’s 2014
Rookie of the Year, delivered in the
fifth and 10th frames of both
games.
“It was all me; I just threw it bad,”
Norton said of his initial error, “but
I was able to fix the physical mis-
takes the next three shots. The good
thing is, my team was able to pick
me up, which is what it’s all about.”
Kent was the team’s choice to
assume the anchor role from Weber because his game matched up better
with the conditions, and he
embraced the opportunity.
“It feels good the whole team was
behind the decision,” Kent said.
“We work together so well we
could have put any of our five guys
in that position and we would have
been comfortable. But I’m kinda
glad it was me. I like being in that
position.
“The atmosphere is so much fun,”
the former Robert Morris-Illinois
collegiate star added. “It remindsme a lot of college, with all of the
teams and parents, and it’s loud and
crazy. I’m actually very comfort-
able in this atmosphere.”
In the second semifinal match,
Dallas made history with its 300-
237 romp in game one, with Duke
completing the perfect game with
three strikes in the 10th frame. In
game two, Duke moved himself to
leadoff and turned over anchor
duties to Tommy Jones. The
Strikers fell behind by 37 pins after
five frames on the troublesome left
lane, but when they switched to theright lane to finish the game, Duke,
BJ Moore, Shawn Maldonado, Bill
O’Neill and Jones ran off a string of
six consecutive strikes for a 215-
204 victory, and the Strikers’ first
trip to the Elias Cup finals.
“That was mega exciting,” Duke
beamed later. “I can’t even begin to
tell you. I was so worried about get-
ting into a big deficit early, like we
did last week. It seems like the left
lane wants to give you problems if
you want to hook the ball, but it’s
actually my best lane so that’s why I
bowled the 10th in game one and had
Tommy throw the rock in game
two.”
After starting the first game witheight strikes, Dallas had the game
locked up, but the 300 was still in
play.
“When Tommy got that strike in
the ninth, he turned around and said,
‘I’m so glad it’s on you (to finish
it)…and that’s what gave me the
strength,” Duke said. “He just put it
on me, like someone gets in your face
and dares you, and that’s what lifted
me to the point I could get it done.”
But the pressure was back on
Jones to rescue his team in the 10th
frame of game two.
“We were pretty much dead and
buried through five frames,” Jones
said. “The left lane is okay early,
but once it changes a little bit, it justseems to catch people the wrong
way. (Motown’s) Josh (Blanchard)
got a terrible break leaving an 8 pin
in the eighth frame, and Anthony
(Simonsen) made a good shot in the
10th that didn’t carry.
“We were fortunate to throw a
couple of good shots at the end,”
Jones added. “I’m not sure what
Norm’s thinking was. We had just
bowled 300 and I thought he’d
leave the lineup alone, but he’s the
(manager), he made the choice (to
move me to anchor) and we’re two
for two, so I think we’ll keep going
with something similar.”
While Dallas has never finishedhigher than fifth place in three pre-
vious PBA League seasons, the
NYC WTT KingPins won the inau-
gural Elias Cup in Indianapolis in
2013, with celebrity owner Billie
Jean King in the audience and
Tommy Jones as part of their roster.
Jones, who also helped the Silver
Lake Atom Splitters win the 2014
Elias Cup, will be trying to win the
PBA League championship for the
third time with his third different
team.
