ADDISON, Ill. — The No. 1-ranked Webber International University men's bowling team delivered a strong performance at the NAIA Bowling Coaches Association (NAIABCA) Fall Invitational, finishing second in the championship bracket after three days of competition at Stardust Bowl in Addison, Illinois, Oct. 16-18.

The Warriors opened the weekend with a third-place finish in total pinfall at Fall Invitational I before improving to second place in total pinfall at Fall Invitational II. Webber's consistent performance across the first two days earned the Warriors the most NAIA points in the field, securing the top seed entering Sunday's brackDaniel Lynn Winning Bowling Tournament in Ill. 10.16.26et play.

Webber carried that momentum into the championship bracket, advancing to the title match before falling to SCAD to finish as the tournament runner-up.

Individually, Daniel Lynn led the way for the Warriors, earning a spot on the All-Tournament Team after finishing first with 1,204 total pins and an impressive 240.8 average.

The Warriors' runner-up finish capped a productive weekend for the nation's top-ranked team, which continued to demonstrate its depth and consistency against a competitive field of NAIA programs.

The Warriors will return to the lanes Nov. 7-8 as they travel to Austell, Georgia, to compete in the Bowlero Southern Classic. Webber will look to build on its runner-up finish at the NAIA Fall Invitational and continue its strong start to the 2026-27 season.
