BATON ROUGE, La. — The Southern University bowling team travels to Houston this weekend to compete in the Track Kat Klash, hosted by No. 8 Sam Houston at Emerald Bowl.
 
The Lady Jaguars are coming off a strong showing at the Destination Orlando Tournament, hosted by Sacred Heart, where they secured a pair of close victories, including a ranked win over No. 20 UAB.
 
Za'Viara Williams led Southern in the individual standings, recording a six-game total of 1,119 pins for a 186.5 average. Williams posted games of 194, 222, 178, 173, 176 and 176.
