San Antonio, Tex. – The Wichita State bowling team is back in action this weekend as the Shockers compete in the Bulldog Classic hosted by Louisiana Tech University in San Antonio, Texas.

The tournament will feature 16 teams grouped together in two pools for the first two days. The teams will play five five-game baker matches on Friday and five traditional team games on Saturday. The final day will consist of three rounds of bracket play with each matchup consisting of a best of seven baker match.

The Shockers are coming off a third-place finish last weekend at Destination Orlando. Against stiff competition the Shockers fell to Jacksonville in the opening round of bracket play before rebounding to defeat Vanderbilt in a come-from-behind 4-3 win to take third place overall in the competition.

Wichita State entered the season ranked third in the NTCA Preseason Poll. The Shockers will compete against fellow ranked opponents Arkansas State, host Louisiana Tech, Newman University, Tulane and Vanderbilt this weekend.

Seniors Ashtyn Woods and Sara Duque Jimenez come into this weekend's action looking to build upon strong performances last week at Destination Orlando. Both finished the weekend with an average score of over 200 per game and Woods posted a 12^th-place individual finish.

Action begins on Friday morning at Bowlero Thousand Oaks in San Antonio. Fans are encouraged to follow along on social media @GoShockersBOWL for live updates throughout the competition.
