Game 2 rolls off hot with Annika Wilberg leaving off right where she left in Game 1 with a strike out of the gate. Wilberg would finish the series with 524. Wilberg isn’t done as she destroys her next frame giving her a double for the night in Game 2.

With a commanding lead in the series the Wildcats search for some life, and they end up getting it from Suhana Merchant with a nice strike, but the Wildcats would lose game 2 876 to 776.
Neuqua looks to rebound in game three, as Aniya Emerson kicks things off with a turkey to get the Wildcats going out of the restart zone. Trying to go for another one, Emerson is 1 pin shy of another strike. Aniya picks back up her turkey streak with another strike after her spare from the 9 pin.
Teammate Kushi Patel responds to her strike with one of her own; Patel would finish the night with 374. After completing her second turkey, Emerson looks for four in a row as she gets it with a cool way to get it to.
