CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Saginaw Valley State University bowling team took care of business this past weekend at the Chattanooga Sectional, putting up 13,477 pins to win the men’s competition by nearly 700 pins over second-place Robert Morris (Ill.), which finished with 12,789 pins. Purdue (12,757) and Vincennes (12,709) grabbed the final two advancing spots for the national finals.

Also taking place over the weekend was the individual qualifying for nationals and Christopher Moyer (Freeland, Pa.) and Dan MacLelland (Windsor, Ont.) both qualified for the Cardinals with a 218.00 average over the course of the weekend. When the day began, 750 bowlers had their sights set on the national finals, which will take place May 17-19 at AMF Euless Lanes in Euless, Texas. Now, only 32 bowlers (16 men, 16 women) remain.

The team national finals will be held on April 15-18 at The Cherry Bowl in Rockford, Ill.
