Oct 2, 2026 | Women's Bowling
GARLAND, Texas – The 2026-27 campaign gets underway this weekend as the No. 17 Green Wave bowling team will compete in a pair of Southwest Intercollegiate Bowling Conference (SWIBC) tournaments at the AMF Garland Lanes. The SWIBC I and II will take place tomorrow, October 3, and Sunday, October 4, respectively.
Â
The SWIBC I will begin play at 9:15 a.m. with traditional games, and Baker games will follow at 1:30 p.m. The finals will start at 3:45 p.m. Sunday's action in the SWIBC II will consist solely of traditional games, beginning at 8:15 a.m. Tulane competed in both the SWIBC I and II last season to open the campaign, placing second in both events.
Â
The Wave enters the season ranked at No. 17, matching the program's peak ranking from last season. Tulane returns six bowlers from last season, headlined by a trio of seniors: Linnea Holcomb, Sarah Rubi, and Juanelyz Solla. Also returning are juniors Valeria Colon, Emma Figert, and Paige Matiasek. Tulane welcomes a pair of freshmen to the team in Malia Briggs and Vicky Lizarazo. Hayley Veitch enters her 15th season as the head coach of the program.
Â
Colon is the team's returning leader in strikes thrown with 337 last season. Rubi delivered 317, not far behind as the only other competitor over 300.
Â
Tulane returns home next weekend to host the Colonial Lanes Classic beginning on Friday, October 9. The three-day event runs through Sunday, October 11. The tournament takes place at Colonial Lanes in Harahan, Louisiana.
