INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The University of Pikeville women's bowling team is heading into the postseason on a, pardon the pun, serious roll.
 
The women were the winners of the 64-team Hoosier Classic this weekend, and then finished second in the match-play tournament.
 
UPike finished atop the standings with a tournament score of 7,994. They edged out Mount Mercy (Ind.), who was second at 7,932, and Milligan (Tenn.), at 7,906.
 
The Bears opened match play against Cumberland (Tenn.), and avenged its championship-round loss in last week's Mid-South Conference tournament with a 2-0 win. They then knocked off SCAD (Ga.) 2-1 to reach the finals.
 
Mount Mercy then picked up the win in the finals.
 
Senior Brianna Rogers led the Bears individually, finishing third in the singles competition with a five-game average of 221.8. She opened her performance with a 264.
 
Sophomore Katarina Hagler finished 13^th in the field of 418 thanks to an average of 213.4.
 
Among the rest of the team, freshman Cierra Gabriel had a four-game average of 208.75, while sophomore Kaytlen Peck averaged 199 for four games.
 
UPike is now off until USBC Sectionals, which will be held March 13-15 at a site to be determined.
