EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, New Jersey — The University of Maryland Eastern Shore went 4-1 on the second day of competition at the Hawk Flight Open. The event — hosted by Monmouth University, at the King Pin in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey — continues on Sunday (March 3) with bracket play and the Hawks in fifth place.

The Hawks (63-40, 13-5 MEAC) were inconsistent all day dropping matches to Fairleigh Dickinson (916-915), Vanderbilt (1,047-964) and Sam Houston State (1,081-938).

"It was an unfortunate day on the lanes," Hawks coach Kayla Bandy said. "We will not make it to the Championship part of the bracket. We couldn't get anything going. Doubles were limited and the team just didn't show up.

"We were just going through the motions. There is lots to be learned from the day moving towards the next few weeks of competition."

Sophomore Paulina Torres (Ponce, Puerto Rico) led the way for the Hawks with a five-game average of 187.2. She was the lone Hawk who was consistent with no game lower than 183 and a high of 192.

Freshman Chloe Skurzynzki (Carlisle, Pennsylvania) averaged a 190.0 with three games over 200 and a season high of 222. Unfortunately, she also had two games below 169, which killed her average for the day.

Classmate Isabel Hughes (Raleigh, North Carolina) put up a high of 214 and averaged 184.3 over four games.

Junior Cayla Hicks (Salem, Virginia) also rolled five games averaging a 183 with a high game of 201. Classmate Brigitte Jacobs (Freeport, Illinois) averaged 178.7 over three games.

Senior Alexandra Hernandez (Maricaibo, Venezuela) averaged a 186 over two games and classmate Danielle August (Mililani, Hawaii) rolled a 178 in the final match of the day — a win against Long Island University - Post.

Bracket play will begin with the Hawks matched up with North Carolina A&T State.
