The 10th-ranked Louisiana Tech bowling team is heading to Arlington, Texas, for the NCAA Tournament Regional on April 5-6, which will be held at the International Training and Research Center.
The Bulldogs earned an at-large bid and will face Conference USA foe Sam Houston on Friday, April 5, at 9 a.m. CT.
The regional will be double elimination, except for the play-in match, and will be the Mega Match Format except for, if necessary, match eight; it will be a best-of-seven Baker match. The Mega Match Format is comprised of a best-of-three style, with the first game being a traditional team total pinfall, followed by a five-game Baker total pinfall. A best-of-seven Baker match will determine the winner if the two teams split the first two sets.
Alabama State and Belmont Abbey will open the regional with the play-in match on Thursday. The winner will face No. 4 overall seed North Carolina A&T.
The Tech and Sam Houston winner will face the winner of that match at 3 p.m. CT, while the two losing teams will face off in an elimination match.
Saturday will start at 9 a.m. CT with an elimination match followed by the regional championship matches.
The regional winner will compete in the NCAA women’s bowling championships, which will be held April 12-13 at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, Michigan.
