ABOUT LOUISIANA TECH
On Friday during the Singles Qualifier, each bowler will compete for a spot in the ITC individual national championship tournament. Each of the Lady Techsters will compete this weekend, however, Tara Spridco, Sara Howell-Floyd, and Allyson Sand will compete in Dallas, Texas sectional.

"Friday the ladies will be bowling individuals trying to qualify for a singles national championship", said Head Coach Matt Nantais. "Saturday and Sunday we will bowl a combined 64 Baker games, 32 each day. They will take the top four teams from each sectional to go to the national championship finals. This event is a total pins, there are no win-loss records. I think we are in a very good place mentally and physically for this weekend. This event is designed for the better teams to rise to the top." 
 
In the team competition, Tech will compete for a top four spot based on total pins out of the 64 Baker matches. The top four teams will qualify for the ITC National Championships.
