Virtual Senior Day: Women's Bowling

Virtual Senior Day: Women's Bowling

Our "Virtual Senior Day" series returns to recognize a member of the Penn State Altoona women's bowling program who is graduating at the end of the Fall 2020 semester. Due to the continued challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference postponed all intercollegiate sports competition during the fall semester – including women's bowling – to Spring 2021.

Due to this postponement, the women's bowling program was unable to hold an in-person Senior Day ceremony at a competition this semester to recognize its December-graduating senior. However, we would like to honor this player as part of our "Virtual Senior Day" series.
