New Orleans – The No. 17 ranked Tulane University bowling team plays in its final tournament of the fall this weekend when the team travels to Millsboro, Delaware to take part in the Hawk Classic from Friday – Sunday at Millsboro Lanes. The action starts 8:55 a.m. on Friday and again on Saturday. The Sunday start time is at 7:25 a.m.
The Green Wave are one of 18 teams that are invited to participate in the tournament along with Sam Houston State, North Carolina A&T, Vanderbilt, Duquesne, Sacred Heart, Long Island, Monmouth, Delaware State, Wilmington, Adelphi, Fairleigh Dickinson, Morgan State, St. Francis-Brooklyn, Mount St. Mary's, Morgan State, St. Francis of Pennsylvania and the host institution of University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES). The competitive field includes 16 schools that are ranked or receiving votes in the top 25 including four teams placed in the top 10 programs nationally.
The first day of competition this weekend, Nov. 18, will be five (5) five-game baker matches with total pins being the goal. In the qualifying rounds, teams will alternate lanes after each baker game until the match is complete. Tulane squares off with receiving votes St. Francis (PA) in lanes 13-14 in the first match, Morgan State in lanes 15-16 in the second match, No. 23 nationally ranked Monmouth in lanes 17-18 the third match, No. 11 Mount St. Mary's in lanes 21-22 the fourth match and receiving votes Mercyhurst in lanes 3-4 in the fifth match.
The second day of the tournament, Nov. 19, is a format of five (5) traditional team games. The program has a positional round in the sixth match, receiving votes Wilmington in the seventh match in lanes 5-6, No. 7 nationally ranked North Carolina A&T in lanes 11-12 in the eighth match, No. 12 nationally ranked Delaware State in lanes 13-14 in the ninth match and No. 14 nationally ranked UMES in the 10th match in lanes 15-16.
On the third day, Nov. 20, teams will complete in three rounds of match play in a playoff bracket. Each of the rounds in match play will be a best-of-seven baker match.
The playoff rounds will be seeded using overall total pin fall standings after the qualifying round (day one) is completed. The higher seed has the choice of starting lane for the first baker game with one exception. The exception is if the match goes to a single deciding baker game, the higher seed has the choice.
The first, second and third place teams will be awarded the team awards.
The five individuals that have the highest individual averages in the traditional games will earn a position on the all-tournament team. The MVP award is given to the individual with the highest tournament average.
This year's Tulane bowling roster features five returners in sophomore Katharina Mente, senior Jenica Baron, junior Morgan Gitlitz, senior Amelia Vasquez and junior Yarelis Alvarez. Joining the program are three newcomers in freshman Cassidy Williams, sophomore Sofiia Druchyna and freshman Mia Stolakis.
Two weekends ago the program finished 10th among a strong field at the Track Kat Classic with 12,680 total pins. The team put up an overall record of 6-7 over the three days of competition. Alvarez led the team with 963 total pins and her average of 192.6.
