LINCOLN, Neb. - Newman's Georgia Drewes overcame the pressure of bowling under the lights of national television to win the USBC National Women's Singles Championship Saturday at the 2012 United States Bowling Congress Intercollegiate Singles Championships in Lincoln, Neb.

The semifinals and finals will be televised on CBS Sports Network on May 4 at 9 p.m. West Acres Bowl will host a watch party for the event.

Drewes took the women's title with a 204-147 victory over Nebraska's Elise Bolton, who was bowling just minutes from her home campus. The Newman senior threw an early double and bowled a clean game as she took the lead from the first frame and never trailed.

"I was more nervous when I was on the practice lanes, and I actually thought I would be sickly nervous when I got on the lanes, but it wasn't too bad," Drewes said. "My heart was beating pretty fast, but I just kept to my routine. Since I'm a senior, I just hope this gives Newman a little recruiting boost in the future."

Drewes edged out Wichita State's Jazreel Tan in the semifinals, 226-207. She led heading into the final frame, but secured the victory when Tan left and missed the 2-4-5-8 in the final frame.
