FORT WORTH, Texas \u2014 No. 3 Vanderbilt bowling won all three of its matches on Sunday to place third at the Bulldog Classic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe set out today to win three matches,\u201d head coach John Williamson said. \u201cWe were able to do that. We played a different lineup each set and everyone contributed. I really liked Saphyre (Nofuente)\u2019s performance when she came off the bench in rounds 2 and 3. Finishing 11-2 in this field is a great weekend. We\u2019ll look toward New Orleans in two weeks to end the fall season.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Commodores started their day using a lineup of Haley Lindley, Sydney Bohn, Avery Domaguin, Katelyn Abigania and Dannielle Henderson to earn a 4-2 win vs. No. 2 Nebraska.<\/p>\n
In round 2, Vanderbilt subbed in Saphyre Nofuente for Lindley and Alyssa Ballard for Bohn. After dropping game 1, 214-169 to No. 5 Wichita State, Vanderbilt responded with a dominant 280-211 win on game 2. The Commodores momentum continued into game 3 as they beat the Shockers by a score of 244-216. The two squads split the next two games, forcing a sixth. Vanderbilt earned a 253-185 win over Wichita State in game 6, winning the match 4-2 and moving on to play No. 11 Sacred Heart for third place.<\/p>\n
The final match vs. Sacred Heart was high-scoring and back and forth. Vanderbilt won the first game, 223-182, and dropped the second, 227-208. Game 3 resulted in a tie with both teams earning scores of 213 pins. The Commodores took game 4, 246-202, which the Pioneers followed up with a 258-222 win in game 5. Vandy closed out the day with sixth and seventh-round wins by respective scores of 237-208 and 216-214. Natalie Kent entered the lineup for Ballard midway through the final match to contribute to the Dores\u2019 4-3 win.<\/p>\n
After earning a fourth-place individual finish on Saturday, Henderson was named to the Bulldog Classic all-tournament team.<\/p>\n
