Baby Girl Post First Female 700 Series in League

On April 1st, Nicole "Baby Girl" Trudell rolled a 717 series. With that total, Nicole became the first and only Senate female bowler to shoot a 700 series in league play. She bowled games of 247-237-233, while winning all three of her head-to-head matches against Rai Doblmeier. This now registers as her second one of the season (shot 724 in a state tournament earlier this year). Nicole, who is only 13 years old, has a 182 average and leads the state in the junior girls Division.


Baby Girl Climbs Into Elite Club

Nicole "Baby Girl" Trudell, who gets her nickname from the fact that many people do not even realize that she is only thirteen years old, continues to do big things here at Senate. Nicole, who is averaging 177 in league play and 185 in the State Travel League, is bowling well beyond her years since joining the program.
On February 11th at the USBC State Adult/child Tour at AMF Cranston Lanes, she rolled an outstanding 268 GAME and 724 SERIES. "All I can say is… WOW," says Coach Marty. Nicole was partnered with her mom in the event, but with those kinds of numbers I am sure that most people viewed Nicole as the adult and her mom as the child that day (lol).
Nicole posted scores of 208-248-268 to become the first (and only) female in Senate to bowl a 700 series. With those impressive scores, Nicole made both Senate and Ocean State History as the youngest female to reach such a plateau. With scores like this NOW, I would hate to see what type of scores she will be posting when she becomes an ADULT. Congratulations to our Baby Girl!!

Senate Girls Wins 4th Straight State Pepsi Title

Chalk it up baby! The Providence Senate has now won the RI State Pepsi Tour in the Girls Scratch Division for the 4th year in a row. Let's count them-Allyson Smith (2004), Deanna Outland (2005), Nicole Trudell (2006 & 2007). Can you say domination? Guess what? It is only going to continue! Why might you ask? Well to begin with, Nicole is only 13 years old, and the Senate is loaded with young talented girl bowlers. Do you know that three of our female bowlers have been offered NCAA Bowling Scholarships for the Fall 2007? Well, that is another story for another day. The big story here is that Nicole won back-to-back state titles with an impressive 1346 series for six games. It was an All-Senate finals as she faced Deanna and won 221-198. Both of these bowlers will now advance to the Junior Gold National Tour in Buffalo, NY this coming July as the RI representatives and compete against many of the best bowlers in the nation. Congratulations!


Nicole will return to Defend her State Title

In the Scratch Division our Star of the Week is Nicole Trudell, who earned a spot in the Ocean State Pepsi-Cola tour which will be held in March of 2007. The Pepsi Tour is the Main Event as far as state competitions are concern and the only way to qualify for a spot into the event is to earn it through your junior program. Every program sends it best bowlers to this event and it is here that you see if you measure up to the competition on a State level. The winners of the Pepsi then advance to the Nationals which will be in Buffalo, NY as the RI representative. The Senate has won the girls division title for the last three consecutive years when Allyson won in 2004; Deanna won 2005; and Nicole won last year becoming the youngest person at 12 years old to ever win the states biggest event. Our qualifier for the boys is Rai Doblmeier, who already has a spot at the Junior Olympic Gold (JOG) National Bowling Championship Tour in NY this coming July 2007. Congratulations to the both of you! You both work hard and it shows.
