KUTZTOWN, PA. (November 12, 2009) – The Kutztown University women's bowling team will host its first Northeast Conference match on Saturday and Sunday, November 14-15, 2009 at Bowl-a-Rama in Reading.  This will be the first NEC Conference Bowling Meet ever held in Pennsylvania.

In what promises to be a high-powered tournament, six of the eight teams in the NEC are nationally-ranked: No. 3 Fairleigh-Dickinson, No. 8 New Jersey City, No. 9 Sacred Heart, No. 10 Kutztown, No. 13 Adelphi, and No. 18 St. Francis. The only two schools not in the national rankings are St. Peter’s & Long Island.    

“I believe the NEC is the best in the country,” Kutztown bowling coach Joe Ambrose said. “It’s amazing to host this meet and we’re excited to welcome this type of competition. The young ladies are pretty pumped to host this meet.”

Teams will compete round robin beginning at Noon on Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sunday.   Admission is free and this is one of three times that the Golden Bears will be competing at home.

The NEC is in their second season of bowling and Kutztown won the regular season crown in 2008-09 with a 15-3 record.  Fairleigh Dickinson is the defending NEC conference tournament champions, defeating Kutztown last season by a score of 4-0 in a best-of-seven baker match.

Kutztown (9-9 overall) has competed in two meets this season. They opened the season by hosting the Kutztown Baker Invitational in which it went 4-1. The following weekend, Kutztown participated in the three-day Fright Night Invite hosted by FDU and finished fourth overall.
