The league’s coaches have dubbed New Jersey’s Caldwell University senior Lauren Marks as the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Bowler of the Year, today the Conference announced.
Additionally, the Parsippany, N.J., native earned All-Conference First Team recognition.
Marks, a Parsippany High School graduate, has been one of the league’s most consistent bowlers throughout the season, leading the Cougars in average in both team (19.73 per frame) and Baker (19.68) formats, serving as the squad’s anchor all season.
She led Caldwell to the top seed in this weekend’s CACC Tournament, posting the highest average in the field (209.4) in the CACC Invitational No. 2 earlier this month, as the Cougars won seven of 10 matches for a 15-5 overall CACC mark this season.

Marks, who sports a 3.95 GPA in Studio Art, was a CACC All-Academic, First Team All-Conference and All-Tournament Team performer last year when the Cougars won the league championship.
