PV savors bowling title

ARLINGTON, Texas - The third time proved to be the charm for the Prairie View A&M women's bowling team. The Panthers struck pay dirt Sunday in their third consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament final, beating Alabama A&M 4-2 and 4-2 in back-to-back matches at Arlington to capture their first conference title.

Prairie View had to beat the Bulldogs twice in the championship round after dropping a 4-3 Saturday decision that placed the Panthers in the elimination bracket. PV beat Texas Southern 4-2 later Saturday to set up a rematch with Alabama A&M in the final.

Prairie View fell behind 2-1 in the first match with Alabama A&M (25-7) before rolling off three consecutive victories to force a winner-take-all match. Anchor Cynthia Veney gave the Panthers a huge lift with 10th-frame heroics in each of the final two games.
