SMYRNA, Tenn. – Competing among a 29-team tournament field, the largest of the season for the SFA bowling team, the Ladyjacks are in fourth place following Friday's opening day of competition at Vanderbilt's Columbia 300 Music City Classic in Nashville.

Despite taking game two of the match in convincing fashion, 227-149, and winning game five (204-174), the Ladyjacks were outdone in the other three games including a 238-pin game four by Saint Francis (Pa.).
