Limerick, PA - The Wagner College bowling team traveled to Limerick, PA for the 2024 Griffin Baker Classic from Saturday, February 2 to Sunday, February 3, hosted at Bowlero.

The first day of competition included five Baker-style scoring matches, with the second day playing host to two more Baker-style scoring matches and two rounds of best-of-seven Baker-style playoffs.

The Seahawks would finish in ninth place, out of the 16 competing teams, with a seven match victory of Caldwell University in the second round of the playoffs.

During day one, the Green & White defeated Caldwell University (944-849), Norfolk State (846-800), Dominican University (906-679). Meanwhile, Wagner suffered losses to Bryant University (980-846) and LIU (989-974).

On day two, the Seahawks would take down the eventual winners of the tournament, Delaware State, by a score of 886-863. In the last Baker-style scoring match before the playoffs, the Green & White took down Molloy University 876-810 to secure their fifth win of the weekend.

In the playoff bracket, Wagner would enter as the ninth seed, and face-off against twelfth-seeded Norfolk State. After six matches, the Seahawks would advance and play Caldwell University for the second time. 

Much like the first meeting between these two teams, the Seahawks would take down the Cougars in seven matches, the final being a score of 172-163.
