RUSTON - The Louisiana Tech Women's Bowling team enters the 2023-24 season ranked No. 10 announced by the National Tenpin Coaches Association on Sunday.
 
LA Tech looks to make a fourth straight NCAA tournament appearance. The Bulldogs begin the season on Oct. 7 at the SWIBC tournament in Fort Worth, Texas, an event they won last season.
