Ruston — The Louisiana Tech Bowling Team added Stephen F. Austin transfer Frances Davila, head coach Matt Nantais announced on Tuesday.
 
"We're really excited to have Frances join us from SFA," Nantais said. "Transferring as a senior is never easy, but having someone with her experience and leadership is going to be a tremendous boost for our team. If you look at her stats during her time at Stephen F. Austin, it's clear she brings exactly what we need here at Louisiana Tech—toughness, consistency, and a winning mindset."
 
Davila helped lead SFA to a 70-41 record with a trip to the Arlington Regional Championship match. The Ladyjacks had a 213-130 record in her three seasons.
 
This past season, Davila saw action as the leadoff bowler for SFA, where she ranked 14th in the country with a 46.9 leadoff strike percentage with a 44.4 overall strike percentage.
 
The San Antonio native had a 19.55 average per frame. She led the Ladyjacks with a 73.6 spare percentage while also finishing with an 87 percent conversion rate on single pins.
 
During her high school career, she would make the All-Tournament team at every high school tournament she competed in. She won the 2019 Texas High School Team State Championship, the inaugural Best of Texas Scratch Singles Championship in 2021, the 2021 Greater San Antonio Girls City Scratch Championship, and finished eighth at the 2023 Teen Masters.
