NEW ORLEANS – The No. 13 Tulane bowling team returns to competition this weekend, traveling to the Entertainment Capital of the World to take part in the Stormin Blue and White  Classic in Las Vegas hosted by Mount St. Mary's University.

The three-day event gets underway on Saturday morning at South Point Bowling Plaza with five, five-game Baker matches, before moving to Sunday's five traditional team matches to set the stage for Monday's bracket finals.

Tulane heads into the event off the heels of a successful fall, finishing top-10 in every tournament, four of which were top-five finishes. That spark helped catapult the team in the national rankings, moving up to the thirteenth spot in the December NTCA poll after earning a preseason ranking of 16.

With an overall record of 27-12, the Green Wave put together their best performance at the Sonic Boom Classic in Jacksonville Mississippi, finishing in first place in a field of eight. The squad tailed 343 total strikes and finished with a pin average of 203.9, both being season-high marks.

Senior Madison McCall leads Tulane with an average of 207.6, while sophomore Morgan Gitlitz follows closely with 205.9.

Featured in this weekend's event are nationally ranked No. 2 Mckendree , No. 3 Nebraska, No. 5 Vanderbilt, host No. 9 Mount St. Mary's, both No. 10 spots Stephen F. Austin and Maryville, No. 17 MD Eastern Shore and No. 25 Monmouth. The rest of the 13-team field includes Grambling State, Prairie View A&M, Spalding and Texas Southern.
