The Prairie View A&M Lady Panthers did it to Alabama A&M again. Not only did the defending champions battle their way back through the elimination bracket to earn the right to defend their title, they came from behind twice to beat Alabama A&M to claim their second consecutive SWAC Bowling title. A trimmed version of the 6 1/2 marathon will be aired tape delayed on ESPNU on April 2 at 8:30 p.m. CT.
PVAM came into the day in the same spot as they were in 2012, having to beat top-seeded A&M twice, after the Lady Bulldogs rolled through the rounds on Saturday. In the first match, PVAM started well, blowing past A&M 231-175. But, after the red-hot start, PVAM struggled in the next three games. The Lady Bulldogs capitalized, posting 154-150, 179-173 and 171-147 wins.
It was a battle of attrition as both teams struggled to close frames. But, the match came down to the final frame, with PVAM leading. However, A&M junior anchor Camille Collins was up with a chance to win the match. She needed a pair of strikes and a nine count. The first shot cleaned house, but the second missed the pocket and PVAM came away with a 151-143 win, forcing a deciding match.
