RENO, Nev - Using experience

gained from winning the 2010

NCAA National Championship at

Fairleigh Dickinson University, the

members of Time of Our Life II of

Saddle Brook, N.J., confidently

rolled into the National Bowling

Stadium in Reno, Nev., and found

similar success at the United States

Bowling Congress Women's

Championships.

Lisa Friscioni's 727 series helped

the group to games of 1,097, 1,101

and 1,084 for a 3,282 total, which

landed Time of Our Life II in the top

spot in Scratch Team. They received

an additional 30 pins of handicap per

game to also reach the Diamond

Team lead with 3,372. Purple

Brusers of El Paso, Texas, previous-

ly held the top spot in Scratch Team

with 3,026, while Pindemonium of

Elgin, Ill., had the Diamond Team lead with 3,368.

Friscioni was joined by Sara Litteral (679), Joely Carrillo

(653), Erica Perez (620) and Jennifer Viens (603). Friscioni

is a member of the 2006 NCAA National Championship

team and served as an assistant coach during the 2010 title

run that featured Litteral, Carrillo and Perez as competitors.

"Collegiate bowling definitely helps in this atmosphere,"

said Friscioni, who made her sixth USBC Women's

Championships appearance. "It gave us an advantage

because we've done this for four years, 10 months out of the

year. Communication is key. Whenever someone has an

idea, we all hear it out and go from there. We like to talk

about what's going on. That's what we learned in college

and what we do every time we're out on the lanes."

RENO, Nev. - Like thousands of

bowlers before her at the United States

Bowling Congress Women's

Championships, Dorothy Taylor of

Neptune, N.J., laced up her shoes and

took to the lanes for her first tourna-

ment appearance at the National

Bowling Stadium this year. She sepa-

rated herself from the

group by making her

inaugural march

down Center Aisle at

81 years old.

Although she's

been active in the

sport for nearly 50

years and has

bowled in countless

city and state tourna-

ments, Taylor had

reservations about

competing at the

USBC Women's Championships

throughout the years. After a little

coaxing from her daughter, Margaret

Taylor, she took her first turn on the

tournament lanes Last week.

"My daughter got me to bowl," said

Taylor, who bowls regularly at

Neptune's Shore Lanes. "I had wanted

to go before, but thought I wasn't good

enough. I did other tournaments and

was just comfortable staying close to

home. I really enjoyed this. Everyone

was so nice, and it was fun."

Even though the 2012 event

marked her tournament debut, Taylor

is no stranger to the championships

atmosphere. She has traveled with her

family to both the USBC Open and

Women's Championships and

enjoyed the chance to experience

some of the tournament traditions she

had only seen in the past.

"Walking down Center Aisle was

great," Taylor said. "I used to watch

my late husband when he bowled, and

I couldn't wait to get a picture of him

walking down, and now I've done it.

When I watched, I was always waiting

for my turn. Here, I actually had my

turn, and I did it. I never thought I

would. I've come a long way, and I'm

thankful for the

opportunity."

Taylor admitted

to being a little

scared before she

started, but the

encouragement

from her fellow

bowlers, and being

on the lanes beside

her daughter, made

the nerves easily

disappear. With her

first Women's

Championships under her belt, she's

ready and willing to start a new tradi-

tion and hopes others will do the same.

"This was a really big experience

for me, and to tell you the truth, I was

scared," she said. "I had bad dreams

about coming up here with all of these

people bowling. But I was able to get

myself comfortable. Everyone com-

plimented me and told me to keep up

the good work. Today was about me

and my daughter, and we were just

going to have fun. If I can make it

another year, and they want to put up

with me, I'll come back again. I would

really try to encourage everybody to

give this a try."

Taylor finished off her first

Women's Championships appearance

with a 453 series in team, 430 in dou-

bles and 422 in singles for a 1,305 all-

events total in the Sapphire Division.

All scores include handicap.

Rob Gilbert, Jr. 723 Leads Youth TravelersBy Vince Albrecht

BOONTON, NJ - A return to

Boonton was the impetus for the

sudden rash of high rollers among

the Stan Niemiec youth travelers.

With their backs against the wall,

Bowler City I engineered a three-

game sweep of league-leading

Holiday to stave off elimination

and remain three points back with

two sessions left. Taking advantage

of pin-friendly conditions, Rob

Gilbert, Jr. and John Draney merci-

lessly pounded the plastics, pro-

ducing the afternoon’s best scores

with triple-deuce sets of 732 and

695 respectively; Eric Grabusnik

added 227 and Matt Trento a 219

for the victors whose 900-2560

scratch was their season high.

Holiday ignited some firepower

themselves as anchor Kevin

Macchia posted a three-deuce 634;

Dillon Cilento 233, 222 and Ryan

Kattine 202,201.

For the second straight week,

Boonton was involved in a nail-

biter set and again emerged a win-

ner, 2787-2779 over Fair Lawn.

As was the case all afternoon,

high scores’ resurgence prevailed,

led by Boonton’s Patrick Teshima

with a triple deuce 680; Rose

Feiwel unveiled her finest outing, a

scratch 166-476 which left her with

732 gross, the day’s second high

handicap set; Karl Kattermann

closed out Boonton’s impressive

output with 224,215. Fair Lawn’s

Justin Floyd pounded out 252-655,

Jaylin Floyd 237-623, Stephen

Plaszky 223 and Hunter Perry 180.

In another close match, Bowler

City II came from behind to

squeeze past Bowler City III, 2652-

2627. James Kane led the way for

the victors with 235-663, Haley

Hassan 188 and Kyle Schellberg

187. Pacing BC III was Patrick

Sucero who continued his torrid

stretch with 217-572. Rounding out

the action, Montvale snapped an

eleven-game losing skein by sal-

vaging the finale against Bowler

City IV, 859-822 as 11-year-old

Matt Russell struck gold with a

stunning 209 and Shannon Rossi

tacked on a 177. BC IV’s best came

from Arielle Wallace whose 153

was +35 over average.

The Stan Niemiec youthful

keglers put on quite a show: in

addition to Gilbert’s 732, the

league’s third best threesome, there

were six “600” sets to go along

with thirty “200”s, eighteen of

which produced a season high six

triple-deuce series; they were:

Gilbert 258, 256, 218; Draney 213,

248, 234; Tushima 224, 241, 215;

Kane 204, 235, 224; Justin Floyd

252, 201, 202 and Macchia 214,

215, 205.

BINGHAMTON – Holly

Filarecki of the Buffalo suburb of

Cheektowaga and Cathy Oakes of

the Hudson Valley community of

Stormville captured NYS USBC

Queens Championship crowns in

the Open and Classified

Divisions, respectively.

Filarecki defeated Rebecca

O’Donnell of Auburn, 203-178,

in the title match of the Open

Division to claim the $1,000 top

prize, while Oakes upended

Saramarie Bukas of Blasdell,

213-156, in the Classified (194-

and-Under) title match to win the

$650 first prize. Both are first-

time Queens champions.

“I am still absolutely ecstatic,”

said Filarecki, a 29-year-old

right-hander who bowled on her

high school team and at Erie

Community College. “I started

bowling in the local and state

Queens tournaments about five

years ago and have always want-

ed to win my first tiara.”

Filarecki was the No. 2 qualifi-

er out of 85 entrants in the Open

Division with 1,053 for five

games, one of only two “plus”

scores on the difficult 2011

USBC Queens oil pattern on the

wood lanes at Sunset Lanes in

Kirkwood. She rallied in games

four and five of the qualifying

round with 280 and 245.

“I made a move right before the

fourth game, and concentrated on

keeping my feet slow and not

muscle the ball,” said Filarecki,

who has come back from a rup-

tured disk in her lower back that

kept her out of action for the last

half of the 2010-11 season. “On

the lane condition out there, I

knew that if I got fast, the ball

was going nowhere.”

In match play (two games, total

pins), she defeated Jodi Musto of

Schenectady, 421-317, and

Dianna Molenko of Bellmore,

359-354, to earn the No. 1 seed

for the four-bowler stepladder

finals. O’Donnell defeated

Jenean Bailey of Albany, 232-

146, and Robin Fredenburgh of

Burnt Hills, 181-180, before fac-

ing Filarecki for the title.

Filarecki credited her boyfriend,

Rich, and parents, Dave and

Lynda, for their support and the

late Kerm Helmer, longtime coach

at Erie CC, for her success. She is

employed as a licensed optician

for Eye Care Professionals of

Western New York.

O’Donnell won $600 for plac-

ing second while Fredenburgh

earned $400 and Bailey $300.

Oakes Makes Up for Lost TimeOakes started bowling at the

age of 40, but has come a long

way over the past dozen years –

raising her league average to 190

and competing in local, state and

national tournaments.

She said that capturing a

Queens crown is “unbelievable.”

“I don't think it hit me until the

next day when I started getting

phone calls from family and

friends,” she said. “I called my

Mom Saturday night as I was

leaving to head home to let her

know how I did and apparently

she starting making calls to

everyone in my family at 9:30 at

night! Then I go to my local

Dunkin Donuts Sunday morning

and my Dad had told all the

workers So, I was being congrat-

ulated from everyone there.

Someone posted it on Face Book

and more calls and messages

came in. That's when it really hit

me!”

She qualified in the eighth (and

final) position in the Classified

Division, which had 40 entrants.

From there, she defeated high

qualifier Katie Dains of

Blaisdell, 411-366, in match

play, before facing Bukas for the

title. Bukas had defeated Heather

Kime of Caledonia, 194-146, and

Lori Pientka of Baldwinsville,

200-166, in the first two games

of the stepladder finals.

Oakes said the key for her was

“keeping my head in it, not look-

ing up at the scores and taking a

lot of deep breaths in and out

before I threw the ball.” She and

her husband own their own busi-

ness, and they have one son who,

according to Oakes, “likes to

bowl just for fun.”
