Susan Klopp Vollman
2025 Hall of Fame Inductee
Susan Vollman was a member of the local association for 27 years from the early 1990’s to the late 2010’s. Her career high average of 221 captured the local women’s association high seasonal average award for the 2000-01 season, an award which she also won the following season. Her career high series of 798, which won the women’s high series award for the 1999-2000 season, was, at that time, the fifth highest series ever bowled by a woman in local association history. With over forty 700 series during her career, Sue stands among the top five local women for most career 700 series.
Vollman started her bowling career around 1990 when she first walked into the Harvest Moon Lanes in her early 20’s to give the game a try, and soon joined a league. Between 1994 and 2006, Sue finished every season among the top ten local association women in average for that season, including nine seasons in which she finished in the top five, and two seasons in which she finished in second place.
Vollman rolled her four career 300 games between 1997 and 2004, when only two other local women had more perfect games. She threw one of those perfect games on February 13, 1997 in the Williamsport Major League at the ABC Lanes in the same game that her teammate, Kim Hamilton, also bowled a 300, propelling these two women into the national record books as the first female teammates ever to each bowl a 300 game in the same league game. Vollman was also a member of the championship team in the Pennsylvania State Women’s Tournament held in York in the late 1990’s.
