In the last match, the Green Wave and Central Missouri went the distance, with each side trading wins through the early goings of the meeting. After losing the first game, Tulane went on to win three of the next four to put the Mules on the brink, but UCM won the last two and earned the victory 4-3 (224-182, 180-181, 140-146, 228-193, 150-208, 191-190, 247-205).

Wisconsin-Whitewater got the best of the squad in the third Baker match of the day, winning 941-908, while Central Missouri handed Tulane it's third loss of the day 1,008-896. Fortunately, the squad was able to bounce back by defeating McKendree 974-907.

By Saturday, Tulane moved from ninth to tenth, as the team knocked down 4,553 pins through five of the six traditional matches. The team opened Saturday with a 910-880 win over in-state rival Louisiana Tech and turned around and beat Nebraska 988-967.

Unfortunately, the team dropped its next three of the afternoon in a 1,114-892 loss to Arkansas State, 969-841 defeat to Adelphi and 930-922 loss to Vanderbilt. In the only traditional match on Sunday, SFA defeated Tulane 1,003-873.
