Stratford, N.J. - (3/8/2019) – Representing Chestnut Hill College, five Griffins traveled to 30 Strikes in Stratford, New Jersey, to compete in this evening's 2019 United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Intercollegiate Singles Sectional Qualifier. Sophomore Kristina Scimone (Gibbsboro, N.J.) rolled the Griffins' high-game of the tournament with a 245 in her third game. But her classmate, Christina Del Vecchio (Warrington, Pa.) was the Scarlet and Gold's top finisher, placing 76^th in a field of 159 bowlers with her six-game total of 1,059.
 
Del Vecchio's high-game was a 191 that came in her fifth game; it was the second lowest high-game from a Griffin, but with a low of 163 in her first end she offered the most consistency in the Chestnut Hill College lineup. Senior Rebeccah Edelman (Oakford, Pa.) was the Griffins' second best finisher, ranking 93^rd with a total score of 1,028. Her high-game of 195 came in her final game. Scimone's 245 accounted for 25.4% of her six-game total as she ranked 116^th with her 999 pins. Sophomore Lauren Klein (Horsham, Pa.) finished 126^th (982 total pins, 210 high-game) and junior Stephanie Brogna (Morganville, N.J.) finished 139^th (948, 184).
