Stanton enjoyed a searing start to her sophomore season, leading Mount St. Mary’s to eight wins in its first 10 matches.

Averaging 9.20 pins per first ball, Stanton threw a team-high 61 strikes in 100 attempts. Consistently effective throughout the weekend, the sophomore exceeded 21.0 pins per frame during both traditional and baker formats.

After firing a 216 in win over nationally-ranked Adelphi, Stanton set the single-game program record by registering a 276-pin performance in an 1,107-808 runaway victory over Bloomfield. One day earlier, she accounted for a team-high 21.1 baker frame average as the Mount posted a 4-1 mark during that portion of the competition.
