Shocker AthleticsWichita State bowling made a smooth transition to an NCAA power from an independent varsity dynasty.
The Shockers, who won 11 national titles in the United States Bowling Congress' Intercollegiate Team Championships, are in the NCAA's Final Four in their first season as an NCAA member.
The fourth-seeded Shockers meet top-seeded in a semifinal. Nebraska faces Youngstown State in the other semifinal. The championship final is Saturday.
When post-season play started, the Shockers rallied around the motto "Stay in our house." Coach Holly Harris used the phrase before the Conference USA Tournament, and it stuck with the team. Before the NCAA regional, the team gathered to draw their houses with markers and colored pencils.
鈥淭he concept started from not letting outside things affect us,鈥� senior Piper Reams said. 鈥淲e can only control so much. We say, 鈥楨verybody stay in your house.鈥� It鈥檚 helped all of us stay level and focus on what we can control.鈥�
