The Virginia Union University women's bowling team competed in CIAA Event #1, hosted by Shaw University November 6-8 in Wilson, N.C.

The Lady Panthers finished the competition with a 2-10 record, earning victories over Shaw University and Elizabeth City State University.

Virginia Union was led by newcomer Skylar Rosenbalm and returning bowler Anaiyah Hawkins. Rosenbalm recorded a team-high game of 184 pins while averaging 131 pins during the competition. Hawkins posted a high game of 144 pins.

"I was very proud of how the team performed in their first competition," said VUU Head Bowling Coach James Washington. "Despite having four new bowlers on the team, they exceeded expectations. As we continue throughout the season, I can only see this team getting better."

The Lady Panthers will return to competition January 22-24 when Virginia Union University hosts CIAA Event #2 at Bowl America Southwest in Midlothian, Va.
