Fort Worth, Texas - Women's bowling made program history by earning its first bid to the Intercollegiate Team Championships this weekend.
 
What Went Down
The Lady Eagles are headed to the Intercollegiate Team Championships for the first time in school history.
 
The Eagles tied Tulane University for 3rd place with 12,450 pins to punch their ticket for a chance to compete for a national championship. 
 
Sectional competition is a long and tough format, with the teams competing in 64 baker games over two days. 
 
La Tech was the tournament champion, followed by Wichita State in second. The top 4 teams advanced and will join the other three sectionals in Jeffersontown, Kentucky, from April 17-21.

Thoughts from Head Coach James Hayes
Wow! What a weekend for the Lady Eagles. I am proud of each of them. I challenged them all weekend, and they kept rising to the occasion. It has been a roller coaster of a year for them, and this group stuck together and proved when the team chemistry is strong, then anything is possible. This is our first team in school history to qualify for the Intercollegiate Team Championship and a memorable season that the ladies will always remember.
