Both men's and women's varsity bowling teams concluded regular-season competition this past weekend. The Bees competed at the 55th Annual Hoosier Classic in Indianapolis, Ind. Always the most prestigious of all regular-season events, the tournament showcases 78 men's and 66 women's teams in annual competition that draws a majority of the top teams in the nation.

Both St. Ambrose teams struggled this time out, with the men finishing in 16th place, while the women finished in 22nd place.

During Sunday's 15-game baker competition, SAU rallied to move into 16th place. The top three teams after qualifying were Mount Mercy (9451), Wichita State (9352) and Lawrence Tech (9159).
