Head Coach Matt Nantais
"This has been a very long week. Allyson, Bowl, Great, and qualifying, and in her first match unfortunately the person she bowled also had a great match. Allyson had the third-highest qualifying score in the set but was eliminated in the first round. On the team side, we qualified second and had great momentum going into the bracket. We made some terrible spare shooting mistakes to be sent into the loser bracket.  Once we were in the elimination bracket, we seem to get our momentum back and won our first three matches. Spare shooting and shot-making were our demises in the final set even though it was a closely contested match. Maryville made shots and spares when it mattered. In the second elimination round against SCAD we were focused and won that for games straight.  SCAD is the defending champion in the NAIA."
