The 2004 NCAA Bowling Championship was the first annual tournament to determine the national champion of women's NCAA collegiate ten-pin bowling. The tournament was played at Emerald Bowl in Houston, Texas during April 2004.[1]
Nebraska defeated Central Missouri State in the championship match, 4 games to 2, to win their first national title. The Cornhuskers were coached by Bill Straub.[2]
The awards for Most outstanding bowler and All-tournament team were not given out until 2005.
Qualification
[edit]Since there is only one national collegiate championship for women's bowling, all NCAA bowling programs (whether from Division I, Division II, or Division III) were eligible. A total of 8 teams were invited to contest the inaugural championship.
