The 11th-ranked Louisiana Tech bowling team is heading to Rochester, N.Y., for the NCAA Tournament Regional on April 4-5, which will be held at Bowl-A-Roll.
The Bulldogs earned an at-large bid for the fifth consecutive year and will face No. 8 North Carolina A&T on Friday, April 4, at 8 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.
Marian (WI) and Saint Vincent will open the regional with the play-in match on Thursday. The winner will face No. 4 overall seed Youngstown St. the following morning.
The Tech and NCA&T winner will face the winner of that match at 1:30 p.m. CT, while the two losing teams will face off in an elimination match.
Saturday will start at 8 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, held April 11-12 at Suncoast Bowling Center in Las Vegas.
