McKowen accounted for a phenomenal three-day run at one of the nation’s most-prestigious regular season tournaments. The junior averaged a conference-high 21.43 pins per frame to lead LIU Brooklyn to a winning record at Vanderbilt’s Music City Classic. McKowen put forth a strong showing during both traditional and baker play, filling 90 percent of frames bowled at the 35-team event. She struck on 58.3 percent of her chances and converted all 28 single-pin spare attempts. After anchoring the lineup during Friday’s 1,005-950 baker triumph over No. 3 Vanderbilt, McKowen produced a 218.3 game average over four traditional team match appearances on Saturday. She unleashed a 252 game in the Blackbirds’ victory over No. 9 Delaware State. Her 235-pin performance was the centerpiece of the team’s win over No. 23 Franklin Pierce. McKowen earned a place on the All-Tournament Team for her efforts. The Blackbirds’ anchor bowler opened play on Sunday by spearheading a 4-to-1 baker victory over No. 4 Sam Houston State.
