Sherita Johnson and the Lady Bear bowling team rolled their way to a top ten ranking this season.
The 2005 MSU bowling team is ranked 10th in the nation in the final National Tenpin Coaches Association Poll. This honor places MSU bowling among the elite bowling programs in the country.
The Executive Board of the National Tenpin Coaches Association met in private session last weekend to cast their votes for the top schools in America. Morgan State claimed the #10 ranking, placing them shoulder to shoulder with the most accomplished schools in the NCAA.
The high ranking is a strong testament to the hard work and dedication of Head Coach James Brown and his talented young ladies. MSU joins the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and Bethune-Cookman College as the only other Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Institutions to be included among the nation's top ten.
