Valparaiso bowling head coach Shon Washington announced today that Sadie Jasinski has signed a National Letter of Intent and will join the Crusader bowling program as a freshman for the 2011-2012 campaign.

A four-year starter for Franklin [Wis.] H.S., Jasinski has served as team captain and been named team MVP.  Jasinski rolled anchor for the Sabers as they captured the District 1 Conference Championship each of the last two years, earning First Team All-Conference accolades as a senior after receiving Second Team honors as a junior.  Jasinski qualified for the National Junior Gold Scholarship Tournament this year, and finished in second place at the Wisconsin Scholarship Bowling Club Tournament in Nov. 2010.

“Sadie is a terrific addition to our program,” said Washington.  “She gives us a left-handed presence on the lanes and a great teammate off the lanes.  She is an extremely energetic and driven young lady.  I am confident she will do well academically and athletically in such a positive and supportive environment as Valparaiso University.  I would like to thank her parents, Jim and Lorrie Jasinski, and also her personal coach, Steve Michelfelder, for their support of Sadie while making her decision to attend Valpo.”
