LA Tech qualified for the Arlington, Texas regional last week after finishing third at the Southland Bowling Championships on March 26. The Lady Techsters will be in the regional along the four other teams beginning on Saturday.
The format at the NCAA Regional and Finals will be the same as what the Lady Techsters faced at the Southland Bowling Championship. It will be a best of three mega match format.
Both teams will compete in a traditional team total pinfall set, followed by a team baker set. If they split the first two sets, then the winner will be determined by a best-of-seven baker match.
Regional competition will conclude with one team from each regional bracket advancing to compete in the championship. The champion will be determined using a best-of-seven Baker match play. The championship final will air at 9 p.m. Eastern time, Saturday, April 15 on ESPNU.
