cali, colombia - danielle mcewan capped off a dominating week for team usa as she
won the masters gold medal wednesday to give the u.s. five of the six gold medals at
the 2014 pan american bowling confederation women's championships.
mcewan defeated teammate missy parkin, 2-1, in the best-of-three championship match
at the cali bowling coliseum. the united states also won gold medals in doubles,
trios, team and all-events.
parkin won the opening game of the championship match, 227-219, but mcewan rallied
to take the next two games, 239-235 and 217-181. parkin could have won the title in
the second game, but left a 10 pin on her second shot in the 10th frame.
"this was my first time traveling with the whole team, and it was so amazing
learning from them," mcewan said. "it was awesome to spend time with the team
because they are all so unbelievably knowledgeable, and i was just trying to keep up
and learn as much as i could."
in the semifinals, mcewan defeated colombia's clara guerrero, 2-0, in a dramatic
finish. mcewan took the first game, 238-188, and guerrero had a chance to force a
decisive third game but got seven on her final ball to lose, 211-209.
parkin advanced to the gold-medal match by defeating teammate liz johnson, 2-1.
johnson took the opening game 232-183 before parkin won the next two, 242-201 and
216-214.
the pabcon women's championships featured bowlers from 13 countries. in addition to
the medal competition, four countries earned spots in the 2015 pan american games.
the united states, aruba, the dominican republic and puerto rico all punched their
tickets for toronto next july.
