Bowling Heads to the Southland Bowling League Championship

NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane University bowling team will open the Southland Bowling League Championship on Friday, March 19, at Colonial Lanes in Harahan, La.

The double-elimination tournament will feature all eight league teams, seeded by the most recent NCAA RPI rankings entering tournament weekend.

The Green Wave come into the conference tournament with a 27-26 overall record. The Olive and Blue will be the No. 6 seed and face No. 3 seeded Vanderbilt in the first round.

Each match will follow a best-of-three format: Teams will bowl one standard five-person game for total pinfall, then five baker games for total pinfall. If one team wins both the traditional game and baker games, they advance. If both teams split the standard and baker games, they will move on to a best-of-seven series of baker games. Teams will change lane pairs after each game. The winner of the tournament will earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Each round of this year's tournament will be streamed live on Youtube on the InsideBowling page. Selections for the 2021 National Collegiate Women's Bowling Championship will be announced on Wednesday, March 31, via web stream at 3 p.m. on NCAA.com. The 2021 championship will be hosted April 7-10 at AMF Pro Bowl Lanes in North Kansas City, Mo.
