"We are eagerly looking forward to our first competition of the year," Head Coach Glenn White exclaimed.  "It will certainly be a challenge for us considering the field of competition we will be up against. The team has really been working hard in practice to improve on our skills and fundamentals. Unfortunately, we were interrupted for a couple of weeks, but we have been able to get started again this week to prepare and we'll get an opportunity to gage our progress."   

The Lady Panthers will compete in a seven-team field, where six of the teams are ranked in the top 25 in the National Tenpin Coaches Association (NTCA) Preseason Poll, including four teams ranked in the top 10.

Austin, followed up by a game against No. 21 University of Alabama-Birmingham. The Lady Panthers will have a chance to relax a little prior to playing against No. 5 Sam Houston State, and they close out the day versus No. 19 Tulane.
