ORLANDO, Fla. – Day three of the Destination Florida came to a close Sunday at AMF Sky Lanes with the 17^th-ranked Tulane bowling team going 1-2 on the final day of action. The Green Wave ultimately placed 15^th in the final standings.

The day opened with the final round of qualifying as each team played one more traditional match. Tulane squared off against No. 2 Vanderbilt, falling 1,113-949. This left Tulane seeded 14^th for the bracket portion, in which each team played two best-of-seven Baker matches.

Tulane first faced 15^th-seeded Alabama State and fell in a heartbreaker, 4.5-2.5. The Hornets won the opening game 202-168 before the Wave pulled level with a 210-186 win. Alabama State responded with a 203-170 win, but the pendulum swung once more as Tulane claimed a 190-167 victory. After the Hornets won 205-183, the teams tied at 189-all. Alabama State then won 199-183 to clinch the match.

Next up for the Wave was a contest against Bryant, which Tulane won 4-3. The Wave opened strong, jumping out a 3-0 lead with wins of 172-164, 187-159, and 214-156. However, the Bulldogs pushed back to claim three wins in a row by scores of 208-179, 208-185, and 192-163. With the winner-take-all seventh match now necessary, the Wave responded and claimed a major 257-175 triumph to seal the match and secure 15^th place in the final standings.

Tulane was 7-6 overall on the weekend with a total pinfall of 13,310 and an average of 193 per game. The Wave placed 15^th in the 23-team field.

Freshman Malia Briggs was named to the all-tournament second team upon the conclusion of the event after her 10^th-place finish in traditional match play. She totaled 1,334 pins with an average of 222.33 and rolled over 200 in five of her six games, including a 233 today and a new-perfect 299 in the first game yesterday. This is the first all-tournament honor of her career.

Next up for the Wave is the Bulldog Classic, hosted by No. 7 Louisiana Tech in San Antonio, Texas. The three-day event runs from Friday, November 6, to Sunday, November 8. It's the penultimate tournament of the fall slate as Tulane then heads to Houston for the Track Kat Klash November 13 through 15.
