SILVERDALE — The Roughriders didn’t make things easy on themselves in a loss to the Trojans at All Star Lanes.

“The lanes were not very forgiving as the Riders were challenged all day with difficult spare attempts,” coach Rebecca Gundersen said.

After dropping games one and two, Port Angeles battled back in the 10th frame of the first Baker game to give themselves the opportunity to get on the board.

“Anchor Zoey Van Gordon calmly recorded a spare to tie the game and earn an additional throw,” Gundersen said. “She went on to knock down nine more pins to earn the team’s first point of the match. The team’s momentum continued as they easily claimed the second Baker game by a 32-pin margin.”

Sophomore Lucy Townsend had the Riders’ high score of the day with a 163 while on the junior varsity lanes Van Gordon led the way with her two-game score of 314 (157, 157), and Mallory Hartman made her varsity debut.

The Riders host Sequim on Monday.
