Caldwell University women’s bowling freshman Amanda Scharf (North Brunswick) was named the Northeast Conference (NEC) Bowling Rookie of the Week after shining for the Cougars this past weekend at the Kutztown Allentown Tournament.
Scharf was a significant contributor to the Cougars’ best tournament showing in program history. With Caldwell posting a 7-2 win-loss record at the Kutztown University Allentown Invite, the North Brunswick freshman averaged 18.04 pins per frame over two days of competition. Scharf started off by rolling a 204 game in the Cougars’ 936-854 triumph over NEC rival St. Francis College of Brooklyn. She eclipsed the 200-pin mark again later in the day, keying a 906-874 victory over fellow North Jersey occupant Saint Peter’s University.
