Vanderbilt Bowling Bounces Back on Day 2 of Storm Flyer Classic: The Anchor, February 8, 2025
The nation’s best collegiate bowling team won’t be able to win the Storm Flyer Classic, but still has a chance to win the tournament’s bronze medal.
Vanderbilt went 3-2 in its matches Saturday after going 2-3 on Friday, but it took a while for the Commodores to find their groove in Saturday’s matches.
Dores finish sixth in qualifying.
