“They bowled really well,” said Fort Dodge head coach Nick Vinson. “Leah and Lexi had a great night. In the first game, those two and Kat (Flores) struck through the first three frames, Leah and Kat went to five and Leah continued with even straight.

“Aryssa had a huge second game and she has been bowling really well. They are starting to come together and had the third highest total we’ve had in three years.”
