After day one of the three day 2014 ASU Hornet Invitational, finds host team Alabama State in the sixth slot, after a full day of Bakers competition at Brunswick Zone Lanes Friday.

Tulane University rolled a 4741 (4-1) pinfall total, leading all teams. University of Alabama at Birmingham (3-2) is in second with 4567, Bethune-Cookman (3-2) holds a steady third place (4409); with Alabama A&M (3-2), in fourth place, posting 4363, Jackson State (2-3) posting a 4347 total pin count. The rest of the field is as follows: Alabama State (3-2) 4297, Louisiana Tech (4-1) 4245, Florida A&M (2-3) 4097, Texas Southern (1-4) 4031, and Southern (0-5) 3752.

"Today was a rough day for us," stated Head Coach Andrew Chatmon. "We looked good in the first game but things went downhill from there. We did have a strong finish against Texas Southern and Tulane, as we were able to start picking up spares. We left a lot of pins out there which really hurt us."

To open up match-play, the Lady Hornets faced Jackson State which they defeated 899-821. In match number two, ASU fell to Rival Alabama A&M with a total pin fall of 817-930. For the third match, the Lady Hornets lost by 10 to Louisiana Tech with a score of 819-829. Match four put the Hornets back in the win column with a 913-886 win over Texas Southern. The Lady Hornets would end the day on a high note with a 849-832 win over Tulane.

Day two of the Hornet Invitational will resume Saturday, at 9 a.m., at Brunswick Lanes.
