The Green Wave finished Saturday 2-3, making their overall tournament record 7-3.

Tulane saw an explosive match four with the Green Wave dominating Grambling State for a its second win of the day. The Olive and Blue more than doubled the Grambling pin total to beat the Tigers 1,018-495.
With a 2-2 record coming into the final match of the day, Tulane prepared to meet Sam Houston State on the lanes once again.
Coming in with an aggressive attack game, the Green Wave bowlers stuck with the Bearkats strike for strike before finishing the match with only a 25-point deficit at 980-1,005.
Tulane ended Saturday with an impressive third place pinfall total out of 14 teams, finishing the day with 10,134 pins.
