Three PBA Women Help Team USA Win Gold

Three women members of the PBA helped Team USA capture its first five-woman team 
gold medal in the World Tenpin Bowling Association World Women’s Championships 
in 24 years on Sept. 10 in Hong Kong.

PBA Tour exempt player Kelly Kulick, two-time PBA regional titlist Liz Johnson 
and two-time PBA Women’s Series winner Carolyn Dorin-Ballard helped the United 
States to a 1,210-1,140 victory over Singapore in the gold-medal match. Former 
PBA member and three-time Women’s Series winner Shannon Pluhowsky also was a 
member of the team, and became the first woman in WTBA World Women’s 
Championships history to win four gold medals in the event (doubles, trios, team 
and Masters).
