New Orleans – The Tulane University bowling team will enter the season ranked as the program was voted No. 17 nationally in the National Tenpin Coaches Association (NTCA) Preseason Poll, the organization announced this afternoon.
"Our No. 17 preseason poll ranking gives us a lot of room for growth and the motivation for improvement throughout the year," explained head coach Hayley Veitch. "The first few tournaments of the season will give us a great opportunity to see where we are really at. It is time to get to work!"
The Green Wave earned 347 overall points in the poll in being 17th overall in the country.
Tulane is one of seven teams from the Southland Conference ranked in the top-25 by the NCAA Coaches. Vanderbilt is ranked second, Stephen F. Austin is placed fourth, Sam Houston State is fifth, Arkansas State is sixth, Louisiana Tech is eighth, Youngstown State is ninth.
Of the 35 teams that are ranked or receiving votes in the initial preseason poll, eight will be participating the Colonial Lanes Classic from Oct. 14-16.

The program plays in a total of 10 regular season tournaments this season. The regular season finishes for the Green Wave with the Southland Bowling League Championships from March 24-26 in Rowlett, Texas. Last season, Tulane was defeated by eventual 2022 Southland Conference Bowling League champion Vanderbilt in the opening round of the double elimination tournament, beat eventual NCAA runner-up Stephen F. Austin in the second round before falling to NCAA Tournament-bound Arkansas State to end the team's run. Six of the eight schools in the conference were able to secure NCAA bids last season. The NCAA Championship Regionals will be played April 8-9 at a site that has yet to be announced. The NCAA Championships are being compete from April 14-15 in Las Vegas at the South Point Bowling Plaza.
