Huskers Head to Texas for Prairie View A&M Invite

Arlington, Texas - After a first-place finish at the Northeast Classic, the No. 3 Nebraska Bowling team will travel south this weekend, competing at the Prairie View A&M Invite, hosted by Prairie View A&M.

The Huskers are coming off an impressive showing in Delaware where the Big Red went a perfect 13-0 on the weekend, and defeated No. 4 Youngstown State in the championship match to win their second tournament of the season, the other in the season opener at the Penguin Classic.  

Last season at the Prairie View A&M Invite, Nebraska finished fourth, following a third-place finish in 2022-23. The teams joining the Cornhuskers include eight programs ranked in the National Tenpin Coaches Association (NTCA) Top 10: No. 1 Vanderbilt, No. 2 Jacksonville State, No. 4 Youngstown State, No. 5 Arkansas State, No. 8 Sam Houston, No. 9 Maryville and No. 10 North Carolina A&T. No. 12 Louisiana Tech, No. 14 Duquesne are the other two teams that are currently ranked in the NTCA Top 25. Tournament host Prairie View A&M and Texas Southern round out the remaining teams competing.

The first ball will be thrown Friday morning at 10:30 a.m. (CT) with five sets of five-game baker matches. The tournament continues with five traditional matches Saturday morning, beginning at 9:25 a.m. (CT). Teams will play an additional traditional match Sunday morning, beginning at 8:25 a.m. (CT) finalize bracket placements. Bracket play will start afterwards with two rounds of best-of-seven baker matches to decide final placements and awards.
