    RENO, Nev. - Lisa Friscioni of

    Saddle Brook, N.J., and Kathleen

    Weissman of Fair Lawn, N.J., com-

    peted against each other collegiate-

    ly but joined forces this week at the

    2014 United States Bowling

    Congress Women's

    Championships, where they coast-

    ed into the Division 1 Doubles lead.

    Weissman, a 30-year-old right-

    hander, led the way with games of

    205, 267 and 238 for a 710 series,

    and Friscioni, a 29-year-old right-

    hander, added 194, 267 and 228 for

    a 689 set and 1,399 doubles total.

    Jan Schmidt of Hales Corners,

    Wis., and Sarah Germano of

    Rochester, N.Y., previously held the top spot with 1,311.

    "It was tough because we started off slow the first

    game," said Friscioni, who made her eighth USBC

    Women's Championships appearance. "The lanes

    played a little different from yesterday. We had a great

    second game, and that's what really got us going."

    Friscioni and Weissman's team event was broadcast

    make a run at the Diamond Division lead, the team

    struggled in the final game, eventually helping Time of

    Our Life settle into eighth place with 2,442. Lusha's

    Ladies of Frisco, Texas, lead with 2,651.

    The pair learned from the mistakes they made in their

    team event and worked harder as a team during doubles

    and singles at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

    "I felt like we had more motivation today after not

    who made her seventh Women's Championships

    appearance. "We talked it over and had much better

    communication as a team

    today. That was the key."

    Friscioni was a member

    the 2006 NCAA national

    championship-winning

    team at Fairleigh Dickinson

    University and earned the

    tournament's Most Valuable

    Player honor. Weissman

    helped New Jersey City

    University to a third-place

    finish at the 2004 NCAA

  • 2 SPORTS REPORTER July 2 - 8, 2014

    RENO, Nev. - Even with a half game to go, there was little doubt Artistic

    Expressions 1 of Oklahoma City was going to finish the day atop the stand-

    ings at the 2014 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships with

    the highest score in 111 years of tournament history.

    ArtisticExpressions1OC2014at465x262.jpgThe only question being

    asked at the National Bowling Stadium was how high the bar would be

    raised. The group answered with a 1,277 final game and 3,720 team tally,

    159 pins better than Motion Plus Lanes of Cudahy, Wis., which previously

    held the lead and top spot in the record books with 3,561.

    Artistic Expressions 1 started the team event with games of 1,255 and

    1,188 before closing with the sixth-highest game in USBC Open

    Championships competition. Team Turbo Grips of Fort Wayne, Ind., owns

    the single-game record of 1,318, rolled just three days earlier.

    "We knew that if we worked together, eventually this was going to hap-

    pen," said Pete Thomas, who is the veteran of the team with 16 tournament

    appearances. "We practiced on the shot this morning, we practiced a few

    times during the week and we put in the work. We made some good deci-

    sions and great ball choices. Before we started, I told them it was an honor

    to bowl with them. I knew it would be something special. But this special?

    No one could have predicted that."

    Ted Pritts led the way for Artistic Expressions 1 on Monday with a 768

    series and was followed by Thomas (758), Xeno Garcia (752), Jimmy

    McMartin (736) and Anthony Lavery-Spahr (706).

    "It's just an amazing feeling," Pritts said. "To be a part of something so

    special is a testament to my teammates and the things we were able to do.

    For it all to come together for us is incredible. If somebody beats it, we'll all

    fly out here and shake their hands."

    "It's like a dream come true," Thomas said. "To know that we've done

    something that no other team has done at Nationals, and by more than 100

    pins, is beyond belief. We're excited for what the future holds. This team will

    be together for a long time, will continue to be humble about it and be excit-

    ed for what's going to happen in the next few weeks."

    Murphy first joined the

    International Bowling Campus

    (IBC) in 2010 as Director of Youth

    for the Bowling Proprietors

    Association of America (BPAA).

    He became IBC Director of Youth

    Development in 2011 at which

    time he assumed management of

    USBC youth programs as well. In

    January of 2012, Murphy earned

    promotion to IBC Managing

    Director of Youth Development.

    Bowling is far more than a pro-

    fession for me. It is part of my

    family, my fabric and who I am,

    Murphy said. My focus and pas-

    sion has been serving the sport of

    bowling since I joined the campus.

    I am honored to take on this new

    role for USBC and help lead our

    National Governing Body and

    membership organization for-

    ward.

    Prior to joining the IBC, Murphy

    held management positions at

    Columbia Industries and Ebonite.

    Earlier in his career, he worked as

    a team member on the

    Professional Bowlers Association

    and Professional Womens

    Bowling Association tours for

    Columbia 300. He is a former

    member of Team USA and his

    playing honors include a silver

    medal at the 1998 World Tenpin

    Team Cup in Amsterdam and he

    was also part of the Ebonite

    Nitro/R's team that won two

    Grand Championships at the

    Brunswick World Team Challenge

    Series in 1994 and 1996.

    The International Bowling

    Campus will conduct a search for

    new Managing Director of IBC

    Youth Development with USBC

    and BPAA Executive Directors

    collaborating on the selection.

    Murphy will continue to supervise

    IBC Youth Development until a

    new leader for the department is

    named.

    Oklahoma Team Shatters Record

    At USBC Open ChampionshipsBy Matt Cannizzaro and Aaron Smith - USBC

    Tom Baker Wins PBA50

    Northern California ClassicBy Jerry Schneider - PBABRENTWOOD, Calif. Tom Baker of King, N.C., survived a champi-

    onship match battle of Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famers

    to win the PBA50 Northern California Classic presented by MOTIV for

    his 11th career PBA50 Tour title.

    Baker, a four-time PBA50 Player of the Year, defeated fellow Hall of

    Famer and PBA50 Tour rookie Parker Bohn III of Jackson, N.J., 290-

    245, in the title match at Harvest Park Bowl which was also his first win

    of the season. In the first six tournaments of the 2014 PBA50 Tour sea-

    son each has been won by a PBA Hall of Famer.

    The whole day I had to rely on my equipment, said the 59-year-old

    Baker who also owns 10 PBA Tour titles. I must have used five or six

    balls today and the ball I used in the championship match I didnt even

    use all day.

    I was pretty fortunate to be able to bowl for the title, he continued.

    In the round of 16 I was down 2-0 and had to battle back to win the next

    three games to pull it out. I was having a lot of trouble leaving 10 pins

    on really good shots so it got pretty frustrating.

    Ironically Baker avenged a championship match loss to Bohn in the

    Brentwood Classic PBA Tour tournament in 1998 where Bohn beat

    Baker 239-222 for the title.

    We were talking about that and the one thing I remember about that

    match is I left a big split that cost me a chance to win the tournament,

    Baker said. Naturally I was hoping history wasnt going to repeat itself.

    With his win, Baker moves into a tie for fourth on the PBA50 Tour

    career titles list with Gene Stus. John Handegard leads with 14 career titles

    with Gary Dickinson and Dale Eagle tied for second with 12 titles each.

    In the semifinal round, Baker advanced to the championship match by

    defeating Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli, 228-195, and Bohn defeat-

    ed five-time PBA Tour winner Eric Forkel of Las Vegas, 242-198. Bohn

    and Monacelli were trying for their second titles of the season while

    Forkel was trying for his first career PBA50 Tour title.

    Two-time defending champion Walter Ray Williams Jr.s quest for a

    third consecutive Northern California Classic win was thwarted with a

    2-0 defeat in the round-of-8 best-of-three match against Forkel earlier in

    the day.PBA TO RETURN TO GRAND CASINO RESORT,

    FIRELAKE BOWLING CENTER

    FOR 2015 SUMMER SWINGThe Professional Bowlers Association and Citizen Potawatomi

    Nation have reached agreement to return to Shawnee, Okla., for the

    third annual PBA Summer Swing in 2015. Dates and other details have

    yet to be finalized, but the announcement that the PBA will return to

    Oklahoma was made during the Grand Casino Resort PBA Summer

    Swing finals by Citizen Potawatomi Nation Chairman John (Rocky)

    Barrett.

    It is expected the 2015 program will be similar to the 2014 Summer

    Swing, with preliminary rounds held at FireLake Bowling Center (also

    operated by the Grand Casino Resort group) with finals held on a spe-

    cial lane installation in the Grand Event Center in the Grand Casino

    Resort and Hotel complex.

    The PBA is very happy to renew our relationship with the Citizen

    Potawatomi Nation and Grand Casino Resort group, said PBA

    Commissioner Tom Clark. The 2014 event was a terrific experience.

    Our hosts could not have been more accommodating. FireLake is a

    great facility for our preliminary rounds, and the Grand Event Center

    provided us with a terrific setting for the finals. We couldnt be happi-

    er. Its great news for the PBA and our members to know a full year in

    advance that were coming back to Oklahoma.

  • 6 SPORTS REPORTER July 2 - 8, 2014

    SEATTLE The Professional

    Bowlers Association has created

    a new PBA Womens Regional

    Tour program that will begin in

    July and culminate at the PBA

    World Series of Bowling VI in

    Las Vegas this fall.

    The PBA Womens Regional

    Tour will provide women

    bowlers with opportunities to

    compete against other women in

    the same kind of affordable,

    close-to-home tournament struc-

    ture that has given thousands of

    male bowlers an opportunity to

    develop their skills since the

    PBA introduced its regional pro-

    gram 1969.

    Women bowlers have been

    without a formal tournament

    structure for too long,

    Commissioner Tom Clark said.

    The PBA took steps to address

    that problem when we introduced

    the PBA Womens Series in

    2007. The program was suspend-

    ed after three seasons, but we

    have always wanted to provide

    women with a place to compete.

    This new program is a step in

    that direction. Our sincere hope

    is that it will evolve into some-

    thing more substantial in the

    future.

    The PBA has allowed women

    to bowl with and against their

    male counterparts since 2004,

    and a number of women bowl in

    PBA Tour, PBA Regional and

    PBA50 events each year. Eight

    women have won PBA Regional

    Tour titles. Kelly Kulick of

    Union, N.J., made history when

    she won the 2010 PBA

    Tournament of Champions.

    Under the new program, six

    PBA Regional programs (East,

    South, Central, Midwest,

    Southwest and West/Northwest

    combined) will each conduct

    three events that will be designat-

    ed as PBAW competition points

    events (see schedule below).

    Women will bowl with and

    against their male counterparts,

    but there will be specific prizes

    and benefits for women only,

    similar to the cashing system for

    super seniors who bowl in

    PBA50 tournaments. The tourna-

    ments will not diminish PBA

    Regional prize funds in any way,

    but at least one woman will cash

    for $250 in each tournament if a

    woman doesnt cash in the regu-

    lar prize list. Additional cash

    prizes will be paid based upon

    the number of women entered.

    In each designated event, com-

    petition points will be awarded

    based upon how the women fin-

    ish. The leader in competition

    points in each of the six pro-

    grams will receive a paid entry

    into PBA World Series of

    Bowling VI at South Point

    Bowling Center in Las Vegas

    Oct. 24-Nov. 2, and the six

    regional qualifiers will compete

    in a special six-game, round

    robin Champions Challenge

    Match Play round on Oct. 24.

    The top two women from the

    match play round will compete

    for the PBA Womens Regional

    Finals title.

    Womens entry fees for region-

    al events will be the same as for

    men: $220 for members or $285

    for non-members. Non-members

    are welcome for all PBAW

    events, but only PBA members

    will earn points and be eligible

    for the paid WSOB entries.

    Complete details about all PBA

    Regional tournaments are avail-

    able on pba.com under the

    Schedule menu (click on

    Regional Tour and then the

    appropriate region link to find

    details about each tournament).
