After graduating a strong group of seniors, Dunkirk head coach Donna Kubera was anxious to see how this group would fare. Without the group the girls fared quite well with a linescore of 704-753-799-2,256, which was the highest among the competing small schools.
“With the loss of Rachel Glowniak, Makayla Pasierb, and Olivia Corbett it was interesting to see how the team would fare without those ladies,” stated Kubera. “They did well for the first time out. We have a lot to work on, but it was great to see how our girls will stack up this year. We started two brand new girls to the team, one being a 7th grader.”
Tayler Skelly led the way for the Marauders rolling 156-170-157-483. Following Skelly was Hannah Rosing with 133-155-181-469, Summer Clark with 136-154-168-458, Paige Mullen with 153-155-145-453 then seventh grader Victoria Cerrie rolled a 148 game.
Dunkirk is back in action today at Lucky Lanes where they’ll play Southwestern.
