Former Jennies Bowler and UCM Athletic Hall of Fame member Bryanna Caldwell placed seventh at the Professional Women's Bowling Association Storm Sacramento Open over the weekend. It was the first PWBA regular season event of the season.

The PWBA Storm Sacramento Open was the first regular season event on the PWBA Tour in more than a dozen years. The tour ceased operations in 2003, but has been rejuvenated this year thanks to the support from the bowling industry.
