Jags get bowling rolling

The Lady Jaguars will match up against Prairie View at Tomball Lanes on Nov. 4 in Tomball, Texas. The team is looking forward to having a better season; possessing what coach Karen Couvillion calls stronger members.
“Prairie View has been recruiting and have gotten stronger,” Couvillion said. “I think we will do okay. We should beat four of the five SWAC schools.”

“We began slowly on a very dry shot. We rolled a 181 to Tech’s 158 and then our 168 to Tech’s 131, but we couldn’t close the match we lost in game three,” Couvillion said. “Overall they did a good job, but I know we can do better. They are a strong team.”

On the first day, the Lady Jaguars won three of their five matches and defeated Louisiana Tech again, then Bethune Cookman and Minnesota State. Their only losses were to Vanderbilt University by 18 pins and North Carolina A&T a loss by just seven pins.
