GREENVILLE, S.C. --- Tusculum University's Gabe Taulbee has been named the Conference Carolinas Men's Bowler of the Week announced league officials Wednesday.

Taulbee, a sophomore from Lebanon, Ohio, garnered All-Tournament honors at the Black & Orange Classic last weekend.  He finished fourth individually with a five-game total pinfall of 1,095 for a 219.0 average. Included in that tally was a high-game of 256.

He helped the Pioneers finish the qualifying round of the two-day event in seventh place with 7,900 pins. TU would later advance to the quarterfinal bracket.

The Pioneers are competing as associate members of Conference Carolinas, which is sponsoring bowling for the first time in league history.

Tusculum returns to action this weekend (Oct. 16-17) as they compete at the Columbia 300 Shootout in Indianapolis, Indiana.
