ORLANDO, Fla. – No. 11 Wright State bowling swept all five of its Baker matches Friday on Day 1 of Destination Florida, beating three ranked opponents, including a 1,096-1,019 win over No. 2 Vanderbilt.

Wright State opened with a 1,108-922 win over No. 20 UAB, its highest score of the day, and followed with a 1,030-842 victory over Saint Anselm.
