St. Charles, Mo. - The Central Methodist Men's and Women's Bowling programs took part in the Lions Match Play Classic Tournament this past weekend in St. Charles, Mo. 

It marked the first-ever tournament for the women's side, while the men have now competed in three tournaments so far this fall. 

Overall, the CMU men finished fifth out of six teams. Following Saturday's three team games, the men sat in fifth, and after 20 Baker team games, CMU was seeded sixth to begin bracket play.
