The field is set for match play at the 2025 USBC Queens in Las Vegas. After three rounds of qualifying at Suncoast Hotel & Casino, Breanna Clemmer of South Carolina leads the pack of 64 bowlers moving on to Sunday’s double-elimination bracket.

Clemmer surged into first place with a strong five-game block of 1,217 in Round 3, the highest of the day. Her 15-game total of 3,441 was enough to edge past Latvia’s Diana Zavjalova, who sits second with 3,420. Stefanie Johnson is third at 3,382, followed by Malaysia’s Natasha Roslan (3,370) and Singapore’s New Hui Fen (3,368).

Rounding out the top ten are Maranda Pattison (3,345), Missy Parkin (3,342), Karsyn Lukosius (3,340), defending champion Jillian Martin (3,331), and Stephanie Zavala (3,328).

One of the most dramatic moves came from Sweden’s Anneli Blomqvist, who jumped from 110th to 64th with a final block of 1,137, grabbing the last spot in the bracket with a total of 3,144.

The final day of qualifying also saw two perfect games. Sin Li Jane of Malaysia rolled a 300 during A Squad, while England’s Verity Crawley did the same in B Squad. Crawley used the big block of 1,181 to jump into 19th place and secure her spot in match play.

Every match in the match-play will be decided by three-game total pinfall. The last two players standing in the Winner’s Bracket will battle for the top seed in the finals. Meanwhile, the remaining players in the Elimination Bracket will compete for the other three stepladder spots.

The tournament will wrap up on Tuesday night with the stepladder finals, airing live on CBS Sports Network at 7 p.m. Eastern. The winner will take home the title, the tiara, and the $60,000 top prize. Until then, all rounds leading up to the finals will be streamed live on BowlTV.
