The Wright State Raiders quickly made themselves right at home in the Ohio Bowling Conference.

In its first season competing in the 22-team conference, the Wright State women’s bowling team claimed the OBC Championship, winning both the season-ending tournament and the season-long points competition.

The winning didn’t end there as coach Jeff Fleck got the nod as Coach of the Year and Rylie Jeanneret was recognized as Rookie of the Year. Jeanneret was also named to the second team all-conference while teammate Mia Sayles was all-conference honorable mention.

The young but confident Raiders — winners of two of four previous OBC events this season — led the conference standings heading into the final tournament in Columbus on Feb. 17.

“We’ve been strong all year in Baker so our confidence was pretty high,” Fleck said. “Winning this was one of our goals this season.”

After 35 Baker games at the Columbus Square Bowling Palace, the Raiders remained atop the standings, topping runner-up Ohio State by more than 150 pins.
