History
More than 3,500 student-athletes on 200 college and university intercollegiate bowling teams compete in more than 80 certified tournaments each year, and nearly 100 colleges and universities across the country offer bowling scholarships.
For the 2003-2004 season, the NCAA approved women's bowling as an NCAA championship sport, as the number of women's collegiate programs exceeded the required 40 for championship sport status. The first NCAA Women's Bowling National Collegiate Championship was held April 8-10, 2004 at Emerald Bowling Houston with the University of Nebraska taking home the inaugural title.
