Bowler of the Week
Chloe Sromovski, Kutztown
Senior | Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
A recent hot streak from Sromovski continued Saturday as the Kutztown senior bowled two of the top 10 games in program history on her way to MVP honors at the Wilmington Wildcat DII/DIII Challenge. Two weeks ago, Sromovski rolled a 280 against Lincoln Memorial for the third-best game in KU history. The Wilkes-Barre, Pa. native approached that number again, this past Saturday, with a 269 in a victory over host Wilmington and a 268 in a winning effort against Emmanuel to close out a superb 1,174 series and tournament-leading 234.8 average. The 269 game ranks seventh all-time at KU, while the 268 is tied for eighth. She bowled four 200+ games.
