Field set for 2010 ISC

Two-time Team USA member John Szczerbinski of Wichita State and women's regular season average leader Jenn Boisselle of Central Florida were among the players who qualified Friday for the 2010 United States Bowling Congress Intercollegiate Singles Championships.

Qualifying for the national finals was held Friday at four Sectional Qualifier sites: Allentown, Pa.; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Peoria, Ill., and Las Vegas. All participants bowled six games with total pinfall determining final standings. The top four finishers in each division (male and female) at each Sectional Qualifier site advance to the 2010 USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships.

Stephen Conn of Bellarmine was second, Sean Rangel of William Penn took third, while Justin Thompson of Kansas grabbed the fourth and final spot.

In Chattanooga, Lindenwood's EJ Parks took the top spot with a 1,344 total. He was followed by Joel Klaas of Purdue, Joe Steiner of Saginaw Valley State and Logan Mills of Michigan.

Coming out of the Allentown sectional was Penn State-Berks' Ryan Wyandt, who led with 1,343. Kyle Keegan of Rochester Tech took second, while Jacob Kent of Erie Community College was third and David Gerhart of Rochester Tech was fourth.
