Youngstown, Ohio — The Prairie View Invitational, which Youngstown State's bowling team was scheduled to compete in this weekend, has been canceled due to a forecasted winter storm in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared a state of emergency as North Texas faces a winter storm starting Friday. The system is expected to bring "a treacherous mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow that could make travel nearly impossible through the weekend," according to Dallas-based KDFW Fox 4.

The Penguins were scheduled to fly to Texas on Wednesday morning, and Prairie View A&M made the decision to cancel the tournament on Tuesday night. The event was slated to be held at The ITRC in Arlington, Texas.

Youngstown State's next tournament will be the Flyer Classic, hosted by Lewis University in Lockport, Ill., on Feb. 6-8.
