Head Coach Matt Nantais

"This weekend was one of the larger tournaments in NCAA bowling, and it is an event we always enjoy attending. It gives us the opportunity to compete against East Coast teams that we do not normally see during the regular season. There is a lot of talent in that region, so it's a great measuring stick to see how we stack up."
 
"Going 11–2 this weekend says a lot about this team. We continue to compete at a high level and do a good job of minimizing mistakes. Coming off a long break, there are definitely some things we need to clean up, but with two events back-to-back, time is limited. We will take advantage of the few days we have to prepare before heading to Prairie View, which will be one of the most challenging events of the year."
 
"I am proud of how this team competed all weekend. Everyone contributed at some point, and that speaks volumes about our depth and commitment. I'm really looking forward to getting back out there next week and competing against the top teams in the nation."

NEXT UP
The Bulldogs will be back in action next weekend as they travel to Arlington , Texas, to compete in the Prairie View Invitational.
