Samantha Santoro's college bowling career is off to an impressive start.

Santoro, a Cocalico graduate and an Eastern Pennsylvania champion and two-time state runner-up, is a freshman at Arkansas State in Jonesboro.

Last weekend, in her college debut, Santoro had the top individual average in the Central Region Fall Jamboree, a six-team tournament in Jonesboro.

Santoro, one of the nation's top recruits, had a pin total of 984 in five rounds, a 196.80 average. Only one other bowler, Southern's Krystle Collins (191.60) averaged over 190.

Santoro's top game was 278, rolled in Round 5. That was the tournament's top individual game by 62 pins.

The tournament included five games in a traditional format on the opening day and five games in a baker format on the second day.

Arkansas State, ranked fifth in the nation, was 8-2 overall, 5-0 on the opening day and 3-2 in the baker format. Central Missouri, ranked fourth, defeated Arkansas State in the final match and won the tournament with a 9-1 record.

Arkansas State's next tournament is Nov. 13-15 in the Maverick Challenge in Chicago.

In July, Santoro finished 28th among 471 bowlers in the 2008 Junior Gold Tournament in Sterling Heights, Mich. She had a 3,440 total in 18 games to reach the semifinals. She averaged 201 in 12 games in the semifinals.

She was one of five girls named to the Dexter/United States Bowling Congress High School All-America team last season.

Santoro averaged 229 in her senior season and finished second in the Denny's All-American High School Championships.

She holds the national record for a three-game series for a junior female (859).
