The 2013 NCAA Bowling Championship was the 10th annual tournament to determine the national champion of women's NCAA collegiate ten-pin bowling. The tournament was played at Freeway Lanes in Canton, Michigan from April 11–13, 2013.[1]
Nebraska defeated Vanderbilt in the championship match, 4½ games to 2½ (211–199, 186–197, 156–169, 190–190, 196–189, 202–182, 246–200), to win their fourth national title.[2] The Cornhuskers were coached by Bill Straub.
Nebraska's Liz Kuhlkin was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Kuhlkin, along with four other bowlers, also comprised the All Tournament Team.
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 given at-large bids for this championship, which consisted of a modified double-elimination style tournament.
