Kline Shines, Shorthanded Shockers Finish 10th at Mid-States

WICHITA, Kan. -- The Wichita State women's bowling team got standout performances from Morgan Kline and Sara Duque Jimenez, but finished 10th at the Mid-States Championships after an injury forced the Shockers to compete with just four bowlers for most of Saturday and all of Sunday's Baker games.

Kline finished second in the individual standings with a 212.17 average, highlighted by a personal best 267 in the fourth game of Saturday's action. Duque Jimenez was not far behind, posting a 208.67 average that included games of 225 and 222. Both earned spots on the All-Tournament Team, which was led by MVP Emily Hart of Sam Houston.

Sam Houston also claimed the team title, taking down Newman 3-2 in the best of five championship match.

The Shockers were in a dominant position early on Saturday, leading the field in total pins through three games. An injury to Ashtyn Woods forced the Shockers to compete with just four bowlers for the remainder of the tournament, as the other five members of the roster were already competing in the tournament's JV division.

Aleesha Oden narrowly missed out on All-Tournament honors, logging a 200.83 average to finish seventh in the individual standings. Freshman Kendall Bollea shined in her collegiate debut, snagging a top-10 finish with a 199.33 average that included a 256, the second-highest mark for any Shocker individually.

Among the Shockers second unit, Paige Wagner (196.17) and Alena McDugle (196.00) led the way, finishing 13th and 14th, respectively.

Wichita State opens the 2025-26 officially next week at Destination Orlando beginning October 24 at AMF Sky Lanes.
