For the first time this season, the Molloy women's bowling team is receiving votes in the latest National Tenpin Coaches Association (NTCA) Poll.
 
Through the first half of the season, the Lions hold a 26-13 overall record while competing in five events. In those five, the keglers have marked three top-five finishes including a season-high third-place at the Golden Bear Invite.
 
At the Golden Bear Invite, the cardinal and white collected 8,888 pins en route to averaging 174.3 across 51 games. The keglers saw three members of the squad finish in the top-30 in individual play, led by senior Emily Kulkarni who placed 18^th rolling a 863 five-game set to average 172.6. Junior Kaitlyn Warren finished two pins behind in 20^th place, with a 861 five-game set and sophomore Ilana Kaplan rounded out the team in 26^th totaling 825 pins through five games.
