Birmingham, AL—The Southern University Women's bowling team struggled for most of the day against their opponents, however towards the end of the day they struck past SWAC rival Grambling to close out the day with a win. 

The Lady Jags competed in 5 Bakers matches and went 1-3. In the Baker format, starting members of the competing teams shall successively and, in regular order, bowl one frame on one lane. Once five frames are completed, the team members shall remain on the same lane and complete the starting member order again, with frames six through 10 being completed. No changes shall be made in the order of players after the start of the game, except for substitutes, although once a player has been pulled from the game that player is not allowed to return until the next game 

The Lady Jags started the day, competing against University of Alabama Birmingham. The Jags lost this match 823-918, only winning game 4 out of the match. 

Looking to gain momentum, the Lady Jags bowled unopposed with the second match score of 811. Up next, the Jags faced Jackson State, and were not able to knock off the opponent, losing the match 827-931, snapping their 6-game win streak to Jackson State. 

Approaching the end of the day, the Lady Jags faced the No. 9 ranked team in the country, LA Tech. The Lady Jags looked to pull off the upset against LA Tech for the second time this season, yet the Jags did not break through, and they lost this high-scoring match, 836-1,095. 

As the Lady Jags suffered three losses, they hoped to finish off the day with a win against SWAC rival, Grambling State. The Lady Jags fought hard despite previous outcomes and finished off the day with a huge win against Grambling State, 966-672.
