Westchester Bowling finishes in top-three at Blue and Orange Classic
Courtesy of Westchester Freshman Edward Aiken (Middletown, NY/Pine Bush HS) turned in one of the greatest individual performances in the storied history of the Westchester Community College Bowling program, and sophomore Matthew Rice (Lagrangeville, NY/Arlington HS) enjoyed another stellar day as the Westchester Community College Bowling team finished in third place at the Blue and Orange Classic in Carmel, New York.
Westchester finished a competitive third behind champion Suffolk Community College, and Erie CC to enjoy a top-three finish for the second consecutive week.
Aiken was absolutely brilliant, finishing second in All Events with a 231 average. During the fourth game of singles play, Aiken made Westchester CC history by bowling a 279, which registered as one of the 10 best singles effort in the history of the program. Aiken also bowled a 257 during his sixth game, and broke 200 four out of five times.
Rice enjoyed a sixth-place finish to earn a spot on the All-Tournament Team with Aiken, averaging 200. During the second game, Rice bowled a 225, and broke the 200 mark three times.
The doubles team of Aiken and Rice also enjoyed a fine day, finishing in fourth place with a 1230.
Also for Westchester, freshman Matthew Rush (Valhalla, NY/Valhalla HS) finished in 14th place with a 163.33 average, finishing just a hair ahead of sophomore Anthony Mignone(Scarsdale, NY/John Jay HS), who had a 163.17 average.
With Sunday's Westchester Invitational canceled due to the winter storm, Westchester CC returns to action on Saturday, Jan. 26 when the Vikings travel to Fishkill, NY for the Westchester Shootout.
