Husker Bowling to finish regular season in North Carolina

The No. 6 Nebraska Bowling team travels to Greensboro, N.C., this weekend to wrap up the regular season with the Stallings Invitational hosted by North Carolina A&T from Feb. 27-March 1.

The Big Red will join a field of 21 teams that includes seven top 25 programs, headlined by the Huskers and No. 8 Youngstown State.
