Bears finish seventh at OBC No. 4 Event; Aubry, Foose named as OBC JV All-Conference performers

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The women's bowling program at Shawnee State finished off its final regular season contest of the 2025 season with another competitive effort, as the Bears dropped in 4,754 pins to finish in seventh place overall in a 13-team Ohio Bowling Conference No. 4 Event field over the weekend.

Shawnee State's total ultimately bettered four in-state programs -- including Mount Vernon Nazarene, Ohio Northern, Wittenberg and Tiffin -- and six in all counting St. Vincent (Pa.) and Thomas More (Ky.).

In accumulating its pin count, Shawnee State dropped the highest Baker amounts in Games 6 and 23, dropping 225 and 234 pins respectively. The Bears then dropped the second-highest Baker game total in Games 2, 10, 14, 17 and 27 respectively.

Overall, Brooklyn Foose and Jackie Aubry were each named as All-OBC honorees following the event on the junior varsity side. Foose is a multi-sport athlete who presently plays at No. 1 singles on the women's tennis side and has been a varsity letterwinner in both bowling and tennis throughout the course of her career, while Aubry is in her third season with the program. 

Cali Baird, Emma Billenstein, Olyvia Bittner, Onesti Evans, Morgan Higgins, Maria Mara, Hannah Rearick and McKenna Roades complete the Shawnee State women's bowling roster.

The Bears will now await their fate in terms of where it stands in regard to United States Bowling Congress Sectional play when the official breakdown is announced in a few weeks.
