Dover, Del. (Feb. 23, 2020) --- The Delaware State bowling team has punched its ticket to the 2020 MEAC championship tournament this spring.
The Hornets finished second in the MEAC's second regular season round-up this weekend. DSU posted a 9-3 overall record and total pinfall of 13,201 in the weekend competition, trailing only undefeated (12-0) Maryland-Eastern Shore, the defending conference champion.
In Sunday's championship bracket play, the second-seeded Hornets defeated No. 3 seed North Carolina A&T before falling to No. 1 Maryland-Eastern Shore in the bracket final.
North Carolina A&T, Monmouth and Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) rounded out the top five in the MEAC meet two.
This weekend's results, along with the results from the first conference meet last fall,  will determine the eight teams that will compete in the 2020 MEAC Bowling Championship, March 20-22 in Chesapeake, Va.
The Hornets were in third place after the first MEAC round-up of the season last November.
