By Aaron Smith - USBC

ARLINGTON, Texas – Erica

Cutler of Fort Wayne, Indiana,

threw 34 consecutive strikes at the

Fort Wayne USBC Women’s

Bowling Association City

Tournament, and the performance

helped her break two national scor-

ing records.

The 33-year-old right-hander

started her doubles set with a 4-7

spare conversion and then struck

on her next 34 shots, before leaving

a 7 pin on her final attempt.

Cutler recorded games of 290,

300 and 299 for an 889 series, best-

ing the previous mark of 879,

shared by Katie Verbil of Wichita,

Kansas, and Bryanna Coté of Red

Rock, Arizona.

Cutler’s memorable day at

Thunder Bowl I also helped her

and Fort Wayne’s Brittney

Haneline post the highest three-

game total for two women with

1,615. Haneline added a 726 series

to the effort.

Angela Brick and Sue Jeziorski

of Endicott, New York, set the dou-

bles mark with 1,591 in 2005.

Both achievements are pending

approval from the United States

Bowling Congress.

“I was just trying to stay smooth

and hit my mark,” said Cutler, who

was inducted into the Fort Wayne

USBC WBA Hall of Fame in 2014

and now owns four perfect games

and three 800 series. “We all had

great lines, and everybody was

striking, and I felt like that really

kept us motivated to keep it going.”

Cutler already owned the Fort

Wayne USBC WBA three-game

women’s record after rolling an

864 series in 2011, and she relied

on that experience in beating her

own record on the way into the

national record books.

Cheering her along the way at

Thunder Bowl I were her husband,

Doug, and daughter, Brooklyn.

“It’s an amazing accomplish-

ment,” Cutler said. “My husband

and daughter were there, and that

was great, especially since my hus-

band had never seen me shoot

300.”

The achievement also was bitter-

sweet for Cutler, whose mother

died in October.

“The hardest part was not being

able to call her afterwards, since

she was the reason I started bowl-

ing,” Cutler said. “I’m very thank-

ful to my family and friends who

have supported me throughout my

bowling career. We really have a

great bowling family here in Fort

Wayne.”

Early in 2015, Belmonte

became the first bowler in the 64-

year history of the United States

Bowling Congress Masters to win

the event three consecutive times

last February in Green Bay, Wis.,

defeating collegiate bowler AJ

Johnson of Oswego, Illinois, 202-

157. The 12-time Tour winner

then followed that up by success-

fully defending his Tournament of

Champions title in the 50th

anniversary Barbasol TOC in

Indianapolis, posting a 232-214

victory over top qualifier Rhino

Page of Orlando, Fla.

In addition to his wins in the

Masters and Tournament of

Champions, Belmonte had nine

other top-five finishes including

runner-up finishes in the PBA

Grand Oklahoma Open and PBA

Maine Xtra Frame Shootout. He

led the PBA Tour in earnings with

$178,542 and ranked fourth in

average with 225.40.

Svensson, a 20-year-old two-

handed player, had won his sec-

ond PBA Tour title, and first on

American soil, when he defeated

Germany’s Pascal Winternheimer,

267-193, to win the PBA

Chameleon Championship pre-

sented by HotelPlanner.com at the

GEICO PBA World Series of

Bowling VII presented by Silver

Legacy at the National Bowling

Stadium. Earlier in the year he

won the 13th Kingdom of Bahrain

Open.

Svensson was a runaway winner

in the Rookie of the Year race,

voted upon by PBA members. He

was the choice on 68.5 percent of

the ballots cast, topping Texas

teenager Anthony Simonsen’s

14.11 percent and Washington’s

Cameron Weier’s 10.33 percent.

Svensson was the leader among

rookies in average (225.81) and

earnings ($57,870).

“I am very proud and honored to

get this award,” said Svensson.

“Just a lot of happiness going

through my body right now. I

have always dreamed about com-

peting and winning on U.S. soil

and that dream came true. I think

that is a big thing that helped to

get this award.”

Belmonte and Svensson became

the first players from outside the

U.S. to earn Player of the Year and

Rookie of the Year in the same

season. They were also the first

players who use the unique two-

handed delivery to earn those

honors in the same season.

Blanchard, who won both of his

PBA Tour titles in 2015, was

selected as the Nagy

Sportsmanship Award by his fel-

low competitors. Established in

1966, the Steve Nagy

Sportsmanship Award is named

after the late PBA Hall of Famer

and founding members of the

PBA. A colorful and talented per-

former, Nagy made such an

impact on his fellow pros that the

award was established shortly

after his death. Other players

receiving strong support were

Ronnie Russell and Dom Barrett

who were next in line in Steve

Nagy Award voting by PBA Tour

players.

“I’m very honored, of course,

that my peers would vote me this

honor especially this early in my

career,” said Blanchard. “No mat-

ter who you are out there on Tour

I do my best to treat each player

with respect and I’m happy to say

that I get that same respect in

return. For me, competing with

that attitude helps me be a better

bowler.”

Godbout, a PBA West Region

competitor, was selected by a spe-

cial PBA committee as the recipi-

ent of the 2015 Tony Reyes

Community Service Award which

is named after the PBA champion

who died in 2012 as the result of a

traffic accident.

Godbout, who is a youth direc-

tor and a USBC bronze level

coach 4th Street Bowl in San Jose,

established several charitable ini-

tiatives in Reyes’ name including

the Tony Reyes Memorial

Scholarship and the Tony Reyes

Memorial Youth/Adult Doubles

Tournament. He is also co-

founder of the 4th Street Bowl

Junior bowling program and is a

past recipient of the NorCal Tony

Reyes Memorial Award.

“This is a huge honor and I’m a

little overwhelmed,” Godbout

said. “I had just started to work

with Tony to organize a youth

program at 4th St. Bowl and it

was only a month after I met him

that he passed away. I’ll never for-

get how much help he was to me

and how enjoyable it was to work

with him, so that was really my

inspiration to get involved in put-

ting the tournament and scholar-

ship together in his honor.”

HACKENSACK, NJ – The Westwood girls suc-

cessfully defended their Bergen County title, turn-

ing the tables on Holy Angels who had beaten them

in the FDU Team Championships recently.

Spearheaded by junior Kristen Benavente, the

Cardinals overcame the Angels’ ninety-five pin

opening game lead with a tourney high 993 second

game and entered the revised format fifteen game

Baker play in the afternoon ahead by sixty-nine

pins. Battle-tested in Baker-style competition,

Westwood fought off a determined Holy Angels’

squad and coasted to victory.

Paramus Catholic ended in third place as senior

Kristen Kane came from behind to win the individ-

ual title with a 666 set. Coaches, players and spec-

tators alike were glued to her third game finish in

which she strung the first eight strikes, but a ninth

frame pocket 8-10 split spoiled her shot at perfec-

tion and Kristen settled for 265.

Of the twenty-one schools , twelve qualified for the

afternoon Baker games, total results for which follow:
