LANSING, Mich. -- No. 11-seed Cumberland (Tenn.) won twice, and No. 2-seed Pikeville (Ky.) won once on the first day of the NAIA Women's Bowling National Championship at Royal Scot.

Cumberland and Pikeville meet in the Red Bracket Winner's Bracket finals at 10:30 a.m. ET on Friday.

Cumberland continued its winning ways in the 2-0 win over Milligan. The Phoenix captured the first set with a 991-958 win and followed with a 1,111-973 win in the second set. Cumberland not only swept the match but did it in dramatic fashion. The Phoenix quintet bowled a 300 game in the final Baker game of the set.

Pikeville cruised to the win over Morningside, taking the first set 1,032-915. The Bears closed out the win with a 1,014-942 second-set win to remain unbeaten in the tournament.
