Dores Selected to Lansing Regional

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For the 19th consecutive year, the Vanderbilt bowling team, ranked fifth in the NCAA, was selected to compete at the National Collegiate Bowling Championship and will begin its journey to the national final at the Lansing Regional.

“Making regionals is the goal from the start of the year,” head coach John Williamson said. “It’s the first step in achieving our ultimate team goal. Every year, there are expectations that we’ll hear our name called, but the girls had to go out every day and work to make sure that happened. I think that we did enough this year to feel good about where we are and what we can do. It’ll be nice to watch them compete next week when it really matters.”

The Lansing Regional will be April 4-5 at Royal Scot Golf & Bowl in Lansing, Michigan. The Commodores will open play against Fairleigh Dickinson in a double-elimination mega-match. No. 4 overall seed Wichita State will face Felician on the other side of the bracket.

Defending national champion Jacksonville State grabbed the top overall seed and will head to Arlington Texas. No. 2 Nebraska was selected to the Pittsburgh Regional, and No. 3-ranked Youngstown State will open play at the Rochester Regional. The full 19-team field is listed on NCAA.com.

The four regional winners will compete for the national title April 11-12 at Suncoast Bowling Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
