The Girls Varsity team performed exceptionally well, securing an 8-1 victory, which improved their season record to 4-6. They posted a season-best average of 137 for the night. Top performers included Kendall, who registered 8 strikes with a 67% fill rate, and Haley, who converted 8 spares and had a 72% fill rate. On the Boys Varsity side, the team fell short, losing 5-4, which brought their season record to 6-4. They averaged 165 for the match, with standout performances from Daniel, who had 8 strikes and a team-high fill rate of 78%, and Grant and Cade, who each had 8 spares. Cade also had a solid 72% fill rate.
