The Illinois Wesleyan University women's bowling team participated in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Tournament No. 1, held from November 19 to 20 at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. The competition included a baker match format on the first day and traditional match-play on the second day.
During the baker matches, the Titans competed against North Central College, Elmhurst University, Carroll University, and Aurora University. They achieved victory over Carroll University with a total pinfall of 740 compared to Carroll's 701. This score marks IWU's highest team baker match score since January 2022 when they bowled a 640 at the Peacocks Classic.
The Titans set a new program record for a single-game score in a baker match with a score of 176 against Carroll University during game three out of five. This surpassed their previous record of 156 set at last year's Flyer Classic against Alabama-Birmingham.
In the traditional format on the second day, IWU faced Augustana College, Marian University, and Carthage College but lost all three matches with scores of 650-769, 692-838, and 716-995 respectively.
The Titans are scheduled to compete next at the Warhawk Open hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater on December 3-4.
