ARLINGTON, Texas – The No. 13 UAB bowling team learned that it would be headed to the Smyrna, Tenn., United States Bowling Congress Collegiate (USBC) sectional March 10-11 as announced by the USBC offices Wednesday afternoon.
"We are really excited to return to Smyrna this year for sectionals," head coach Michelle Crews said. "It will be a highly competitive field but this is also a totally different format than we are used to competing in. There are no wins or losses and only total pinfall matters. With 64-Baker games it really is anyone's game to take. We are ready for the challenge."
Sectional assignments are based on Team Ranking System points earned throughout the USBC Collegiate season.
UAB has amassed 51-34 record this season with five top-10 finishes and earned the team title at the Hornet Classic. Taylor Russell leads the Green and Gold with a 208.91 average over 35 games this season.
The top-four teams from each of the four sections will advance to the USBC National Championships set April 18-21 at Sun Valley Lanes in Lincoln, Neb.
