BIRMINGHAM – Coming off a stellar start to the 2018-19 season, the (16) UAB bowling team returns to action this weekend when it travels west for the eighth annual Kat Klash Classic hosted by Sam Houston State at Emerald Lanes.
The tournament will follow the traditional format with five Baker games on Friday, five Traditional games on Saturday and three best-of-seven bracket-round matches on Sunday. This year's field is loaded, with 12 top-25 teams in action.
"This event presents us with the opportunity to once again compete against some of the best programs in the country," head coach Michelle Crews said. "We saw a lot of positives in our first tournament in New Orleans, but also some things that we needed to get better at. I feel like the girls really worked hard in practice to clean up some of those mistakes, so I am excited to watch them perform this weekend."
Last season, the Green and Gold finished the event in 12th place, going 5-7 overall. Caitlin Cunningham led the team with a 26th place finish and a 193.00 average. UAB has appeared in this event every year with the exception of the 2011 and 2016 seasons.
The Blazers are coming off a sixth-place finish at the Allstate Sugar Bowl, where Cayla Davidson led the way for UAB with a total pinfall of 947 to finish 12th overall. Cunningham (940) and Taylor Russell (905) also finished in the top-25 in the season-opening event, placing 15th and 23rd, respectively.
Competing for UAB this weekend in Houston is Russell, Cunningham, Samantha Johnson, Rachel Strogin, Rachael Berg, Annie Hurley, Katie Hurley and Elise London.
UAB finishes competition in the fall semester at the Alabama State Hornet Classic in Montgomery on November 16-18.
