ORLANDO, FL - The St. Francis Brooklyn women's bowling team is in Orlando, Florida this weekend, competing in the Wildcat Classic, hosted by Bethune-Cookman University. On Friday, day one of the tournament, the competition consisted of five rounds of five-game Baker format matches. Due to the odd number of teams in the event, the Terriers drew a bye in the final round of the day, bowling unopposed for score only.
