MONDAY, APRIL 25, 2005 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5B BOWLING No.1 KU upset in tournament ortu-heads New of the 65 our Dr. BY JASON ELMQUIST jelmquist@hansan.com KANSAN SPORTSWITTER There was no fairy tale ending for senior Kelly Zapf, junior Rhino Page and coach Mike Fine. The year that Fine said was one of the greatest years for the bowling program ended in disappointment for the three members who will be saying goodbye to the bowling team. The season ended in the first day of match play at the Intercollegiate Bowling Championships with the men falling in the third round and the women being knocked out in the fourth. Despite being the No. 1 seed and having bowled the highest score on Thursday, the men's team was only able to win its first match. The lone victory did not come easy, as 16-seed Toledo pushed the match to a seventh and deciding game. In the next two matches, the men fell to Fresno State four games to two and lost to Newman four "We just couldn't find a rhythm on Friday," Fine said. "We could never get on a roll." I” I'm proud with how the girls put up such a fight. They played much better than the final score reflects." Mike Fine Bowling coach BOWLING CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS The women, who were the 12-seed, also won the first match, pushing five-seed Western Illinois to seven games before clinching the match.

In the fourth round, the women faced Western Illinois again, falling four games to one. games to one. The Kansas men's bowling team won last year's Intercollegiate Bowling Championships.

Fine said it was emotional after the teams were knocked out, finishing their seasons. "It's really weird," junior Kelly Sanders said about this being the last tournament with Fine as coach. "It's disappointing knowing this was coach's last chance of getting a ring here at KU. It just feels strange to look at him and know he's not going to be here next year." Although the ending was not quite what the bowling team expected, Fine said it was a good year and that they had a lot to be proud about. The feeling was mutual from Zapf who said the girls went beyond what she was looking for. In individual accolades, the performances of Zapf and Page throughout the season were recognized at an awards banquet April 20. For the second year in a row, both bowlers were named All-Americans. Zapf was named to the second team, while Page received first team honors. Page, who finished third in voting for collegiate bowler of the year, was also named to the All-Tournament team. tions, coming in as the 12 seed and finishing in 7th," Zapf said.
