New Orleans – The Tulane University bowling team remained ranked No. 17 nationally in the National Tenpin Coaches Association (NTCA) Poll, the organization announced this afternoon.
The Green Wave earned 305 overall points to remain ranked No. 17 overall in the country for the second consecutive poll.
Tulane is one of seven teams from the Southland Conference ranked in the top-25 by the NCAA Coaches. Vanderbilt is ranked third, Stephen F. Austin is placed fifth, Arkansas State is sixth, Youngstown State is seventh, Sam Houston State is eighth and Louisiana Tech is ninth.
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.
Last time out at the Hawk Classic on Nov. 20, the program finished 11th among a strong field with 12,049 total pins. The team put up an overall record of 8-5 over the three days of competition. Gitlitz led the team with 1,030 total pins and her average of 206. She placed third overall to earn All-Tournament honors at the Hawk Classic.
This season, Gitlitz leads the team with 4,420 total pins and her average of 200.9, while Stolakis has the highest individual performance with her 266 against UMES (10/15). Tulane sports an overall 40-25 record this season through the first five tournaments. The team has had three All-Tournament selections this season between the play of Vasquez (Rattler Classic All-Tournament Team and Rattler Classic MVP) and Gitlitz (Dezy Strong Classic All-Tournament Team and the Hawk Classic All-Tournament Team). Stolakis was named the Southland Bowling League's October Newcomer of the Month.
Next, the program gets back on the lanes at South Point with a trip to Las Vegas to participate in the 2022 Stormin' Blue and White Classic from Jan. 8-10.
