Norfolk State Spartan Bowling Announces 2018-19 Schedule

NORFOLK, Virginia -- The Norfolk State bowling program revealed its 2018-19 schedule on Tuesday, which will see the Spartans start and finish their season at home.

NSU will compete in eight tournaments altogether, including the MEAC Championship in late March again at the AMF Lanes in Chesapeake. New this year, the Spartans will no longer compete in the usual three Southern Divisionals. Instead, the conference will now hold two meets that will encompass all of the teams in the league, which will no longer use divisions.

The Spartan program's annual Hampton Roads Invitational will occur Oct. 20-21 at the AMF Lanes in Chesapeake and will kick off the season for Norfolk State. It will mark the eighth time in nine years the Spartans have hosted the event at the AMF Lanes in Chesapeake, located off Battlefield Blvd.

That will be followed by two meets in November, the Virginia Union Invitational from Nov. 2-4 and the first MEAC meet from Nov. 10-11. Delaware State will host that first conference meet of the year in Dover.

Then after the turn of the calendar, the Spartans travel North to take part in the Kutztown Invitational from Jan. 18-20. A little less than a month later, they will compete in Morgan State's annual James Brown Invitational from Feb. 15-17. That will be followed by the second MEAC meet from Feb. 23-24 and hosted by North Carolina A&T in Greensboro.

The last tournament of the regular season falls on March 1-3 in New Jersey when Monmouth welcomes teams to the Hawk Flight Classic. This year's MEAC Championship is set for March 29-31 in Chesapeake, the seventh straight year it has been at that location.
