Did you go to the Track Kat Klash in Houston, Texas Sunday? No. Well the Lady Huskers Bowling team did and they won their 3rd straight tournament of the 2014-2015 season.

The team goes on winter break from December 13-January 5 and is back in action in Jonesboro, Arkansas for the Mid-Winter Classic January 16-18.
