Two members of the Elmhurst University women's bowling team have earned College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin postseason accolades.

Sophomore, Lorrie Decker, was named to the second team all-conference squad, while junior, Autumn Kalady, was named as Elmhurst's RESPECT award winner.

Decker earned top finishes in a few meets this past season. At the Peacock Classic, hosted by Upper Iowa University on Jan. 20-22, the Van Wert, Ohio native earned a third-place finish knocking down an average of 216.80 pins per game. Decker also claimed 23rd-place at the first CCIW event, with 166 pins per game. Finally, she finished as the top Bluejay bowler at the Flyer Classic on Feb. 10-12, knocking down a total of 972 pins good enough for a 21st-place finish.

Elmhurst's RESPECT Award went to junior Autumn Kalady. The Chicago, Ill. native was a steady contributor all season for the Bluejays finishing in 28th-place at the first CCIW event with 456 total pins and 152 ppg. In the match against Dominican on Jan. 18, Kalady finished second of the Bluejays roster with 160 knocked down pins.
