Dukes to Bowl in Dayton for ITC Sectionals

Competition begins on March 11

ARLINGTON, Texas – The focus for the top collegiate programs across the country shifts to postseason play with sectional assignments now determined for the 2023 Intercollegiate Team Championships.

The sectional assignments were broadcast live on BowlTV and introduced the 64 women's teams moving ahead in the 2022-2023 United States Bowling Congress Collegiate season with the opportunity to claim the coveted Helmer Cup.

The sectional qualifiers will be held across four locations March 11-12. The locations include Stardust Bowl in Addison, Illinois; USA Bowl in Dallas; Poelking Lanes South in Dayton, Ohio; and Smyrna Bowling Center in Smyrna, Tennessee.

The top four teams in each division will advance from their sectional and head to the South Point Bowling Plaza in Las Vegas for the 2023 ITC from April 19-22.

Duquesne, ranked 11th in the current NTCA Top 25, will be looking to advance to the Championship round for the third time in program history (2018-19 and 2021-22 are the others).
