The FMCC bowling teams competed twice over the weekend with positive results.

On Friday, the Raiders competed in their 3rd and 4th league matches at Pin-O-Rama lanes in Utica. In the early match the Women's team finished third. The ladies were paced by their captains. Makayla Williams had a high game of 247 and a series of 633.  Co-Captain Kendra Sweet had a 217 and a career high 601. Other high games were Shea Weaver 184, Ally Colp 180, Shayla Staves 155, and Angelique Lafreniere 143.

The ladies didn't fare quite as well in the second 3 game match, finishing 5th.  Freshman Shea Weaver paced the Lady Raiders with a career high 631 series.  Ally Colp posted a high game of 201, Kendra Sweet 169, Makayla Williams 161, Angelique Lafreniere 157, and Shayla Staves, 155.

On Saturday the Raiders traveled to Fishkill, New York to compete in the Westchester CC Shootout.  It was decided to take one mixed team which meant two of the females competed against males.  FMCC finished 6th out of 16 for the day.

 "We were in 4th place most of the day but in the last full game both Penn St. and Cornell went ahead of us. Initially I was a little disappointed but our kids essentially bowled 14 games in a 24 hour period and that is a lot.  I think we got a little tired at the end", commented Coach Tom Rathbun. "It was a busy 24 hours but I think our kids benefited from the experience.  Additionally, three teams from our Mountain Valley Conference finished in the top 6, no other conference had two teams in the top 10. That speaks to just how competitive our conference is".

The Raiders will take a few days of well needed rest. They will compete next Saturday at the Royals Classic in Schenectady at Boulevard lanes.
