Season Preview

The first year Men's Bowling team will have to learn to adjust quickly to the different kinds of Oil Patterns and the higher level of play they will have to face. Coach Rogers has put together a solid team made up of current Aquinas students from a try out last Spring and some recruits. At early practices it looks like Tim Pleune and freshmen Dakota Neff and Caleb Steil will provide strong scoring, but Travis Hunt and others have been working hard to make changes and sharpen their game. This is not only the first year from bowling at Aquinas, but also the first year for bowling within the WHAC. The team will compete in four WHAC Jamborees and four other national tournaments to round out their first year schedule.
