Acuff rolls 300 in team at 2025 USBC Women’s Championships
July 03, 2025
LAS VEGAS – Fresh off a pair of 300 games earlier in June at the Professional Women’s Bowling Association Bowlers Journal Waterloo Open, Correen Acuff closed the month with one more perfect performance on the national stage.
Acuff, of Surprise, Arizona, connected for 300 during her second game of team competition Monday at the 2025 United States Bowling Congress Women’s Championships.
It marked the ninth 300 game of the 2025 event, and it was only the second one that was shot during the team event this year at the South Point Bowling Plaza. Najah Owens of Raleigh, North Carolina, connected for one of her two 300s at the 2025 event during team in May.
Acuff’s performance helped her team – Pincredibles – fire a total score of 2,681, which places the group in 13th for the Diamond Division. Acuff led the team, adding scores of 222 and 235 around her 300 for an acclaimed score of 757.
She was joined in the team performance by Anastasia Riley, Virginia Young and Katherine Hurley.
“I wasn’t expecting a 300 per se, although it was super cool to do that here at this big tournament,” said Acuff, who earned the top seed at the Waterloo Open and finished as the runner-up. “They are starting to pop up more often when I bowl, which is kind of nice.”
On her 11th delivery, it looked like the 10 pin was about to stand, but at the last second, another pin came across the deck to knock it over and secure the strike.
“Honestly, for me, the 11th shot is the hardest one to get,” said Acuff, who finished fourth at the 2023 USBC Queens. “I knew once I got over the hump in the 11th that I would be good and strike on the 12th shot.”
Acuff was composed from the start of her set at South Point, and she was feeding off the big crowd at the venue.
“Coming into the end of this tournament, I saw there were a lot of high scores,” said Acuff, who added sets of 687 in singles and 646 in doubles for an all-events total of 2,090. “I thought it would be kind of fun to hopefully do something big overall.
“I was a little more nervous for this one, compared to my PWBA 300. I don’t know why. It must be because it’s a team environment. It was fantastic to bowl out there with such great people.”
