HARAHAN, La. — Prairie View A&M women's bowling officially kicked off its season on October 9–11 at the Colonial Lanes Classic, hosted by Tulane University at Colonial Lanes.

Saturday shifted into traditional single-player team games, where the team's depth began to show. The Panthers earned a hard-fought 864–842 win over intra-state rival Texas Southern. Despite dropping three middle matches, PVAMU rebounded strongly in their final traditional game of the day, securing a dominant 875–767 win against Oklahoma Christian.
Sunday's final day featured best-of-seven Baker bracket play to determine final tournament placements. The Panthers battled through three close rounds but were unable to pull out a match win, finishing the final frame 0-3 on the day.
Caroline Lewis led the way for the Panthers across the traditional sets, pacing the squad with a team-high 944 total pins. Chanel Edwards also delivered a strong performance, closely following with 922 pins.
