The Pioneers tallied four wins over nationally-ranked teams, highlighted by victories over No. 4 Wichita State and No. 8 Youngstown State. SHU also bested No. 17 Tulane and No. 11 Niagara on Sunday in the bracket round.
SHU opened the tournament with a 3-2 day in baker play. SHU bounced back from losses against ranked Newman and Tulane with three-straight wins, including the victory over the Penguins.
The win over the Shockers started off a 3-2 day in the traditional matches. Sacred Heart also won against University of Indianapolis and Carthage, but fell to No. 14 Sam Houston and No. 9 Wright State, the former being a heartbreaking 12-pin defeat, 1021-1009.
The Raiders got the better of SHU again in a close match, 4-2, to start off play on Sunday. The Pioneers were again ready with an answer, reeling off wins over Tulane and No. 11 Niagara to claim 11th in the stacked field.
