Tourney format: It’s five traditional games on Friday starting at 9:10 Central, then six traditional games on Saturday beginning at 8:00 Central and Sunday’s best-of-seven Bakers are at 8:45 Central.
Following the tourney: Vandy will test a new video livestream that, if successful, should produce a higher picture quality and has the ability to zoom in a bit closer to the action. Here is that link: http://thecube.com/cube/vanderbilt-bowling
Should it be that this isn’t working well, the familiar UStream site will be employed. Game updates can be found on Vandy Bowling’s Twitter (@VandyBowling) and Facebook pages.
Teams to watch: There are seven of the Top 10 teams competing; Stephen F. Austin (3), FDU (4), Vandy (5), Sam Houston (6), Wisconsin-Whitewater (7) , McKendree (9) and North Carolina A&T (10).
Travel roster: Vandy will travel with the contingent that made the initial trip to Tulane – seniors Robyn Renslow, Amanda Fry and Tori Ferris; junior Giselle Poss and Nicole Powell; sophomore Katie Stark and freshmen Kristin Quah and Jordan Newham.
Last year’s result here: The Commodores were fourth last year with Robyn Renslow making the all-tournament team after finishing third individually.
A Commodore Returns Home: Former All-American Brittni Hamilton recently returned to Nashville after accepting a position as an admissions officer at DeVry University. The Vanderbilt community welcomes her back in town.
