As a senior, she ranked third in the CIAA with a 181.44 bowling average this season.
Sciortino was selected to the All-CIAA Tournament team after the CIAA Bowling Championship concluded Sunday. This was fourth consecutive All-CIAA Tourney selection for Sciortino, who ranked third among CIAA bowlers at the Championships with a 177.40 average.
The Lady Falcons return a solid nucleus from a squad which finished second in the Southern Division this season. The returnees are Hunter Cannon (Jr./Rocky Mount, NC), ShaKayla Glenn (So./Winston-Salem, NC), T’Keya McKay (So./Groton, CT), Imani Robinson (So./Burlington, NJ) and Tiysha Smith (Fr./Parkton, NC).
