WEST BABYLON, N.Y. - - Wilmington University women's bowler Bailey Peters was named a East Coast Conference Co-Rookie of the Week after leading the Wildcats at the FDU Jamboree last week in Stratford, N.J.
It is the first time a Wildcat bowler has been named an ECC Player of the Week, this being their program's first season a part of the conference. It is the second year for the bowling program at Wilmington University.
Peters (Vancouver, Wash.) led the Wildcats at the FDU Jamboree by finishing tied for ninth during the traditional matches with a 196.8 average. She bowled matches of 198-171-202-183-230 for a Wildcat five-match score record of 984.
