The Bowling Peahens won 12 of 13 matches as Turczynski and Borger were both named to the All-Tournament Team. It is the second NEC Rookie of the Week honor for Turczynski, who was also also honored in the opening week of the season.
Turczynski becomes the first member of the Saint Peter's women's bowling team to win the NEC Rookie of the Week award twice. Current teammates Vicky Alaimo won the first-ever NEC Rookie Bowler of the Week award to start the 2008-09 season, and VJ Turner won it last season for the week ending November 3rd.
Saint Peter's (21-2) heads to Wallingford, CT to compete in the first NEC matches of the 2011-12 season. The Bowling Peahens will face all nine conference rivals in traditional team matches spread over Saturday and Sunday.
