HARAHAN, La. – The 17^th-ranked Tulane bowling team finished the Colonial Lanes Classic Sunday with a 1-2 record on the day to finish in fourth place overall. The Green Wave opened the day at Colonial Lanes with a triumph over Alabama State before taking two tight losses to a pair of top-10 foes.

Tulane entered the bracket portion today as the fourth overall seed after posting a 9-1 record across the first two days with a total pinfall of 9,629. The Wave opened the best-of-seven Baker format with a 4-3 triumph over Alabama State, the No. 3 seed. After falling 181-165 in game one, the Wave responded for a 197-137 win to even the match. The sides continued to trade blows as the Hornets won 189-151 before Tulane responded with a 231-156 win. The Wave edged out a 212-202 triumph, but Alabama State pushed it to seven with a 188-170 win. Rolling an even 200, the Wave advanced as the Hornets bowled just a 149 in the do-or-die seventh game.

Next up was a contest against second-seeded and No. 9 North Carolina A&T, which also went the distance. Tulane opened with a 203-144 win, but the Aggies pushed back to win 235-140. The see-saw continued to swing as Tulane's 184-181 victory was matched by an NC A&T 190-160 triumph. Tulane won 199-152 to pull within a game of the finals, but the Aggies bounced back with wins of 212-182 and 182-167 to take the match.

The Wave moved to the third-place match to conclude the day, facing the No. 5 seed and eighth-ranked Sam Houston. The opening game was a 190-all tie to grant both teams half of a point. Sam Houston claimed the first win in game two, 187-169, but Tulane pushed back with a 187-175 victory. The Bearkats claimed the next two by scores of 216-182 and 245-195. The Wave stayed alive with a 280-234 triumph, but Sam Houston claimed the following fame 224-191 to seal the match, 4.5-2.5.
