Collegiate Titles To Be Determined
In Baton Rouge
By Aaron Smith
ARLINGTON, Texas –
Champions will be determined in
three events – National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
Women’s Bowling Championship, Intercollegiate Team Cham-
pionships (ITC) and Intercollegiate Singles Championships
(ISC) – starting this week at the Raising Cane’s River Center
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The NCAA Women’s Bowling Championship will kick off the
action at the River Center on April 13 as eight teams vie for
the title. Qualifying and match play will take place April 13-15,
and the championship round will be televised live on ESPNU
on April 15 at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
Stephen F. Austin, the 2016 champion, seeks to defend its
title and will be joined in the field by five-time NCAA champion
Nebraska. Stephen F. Austin defeated Nebraska in last year’s
best-of-seven Baker final, 4-3, after falling to the Cornhuskers
in the 2015 title match, 4-2.
The ISC will be featured next as the top 24 men and 24
women will compete in a single-elimination bracket to deter-
mine the winner in each division. Qualifying and bracket play
will take place April 18-19, while the semifinals and finals will
be taped for broadcast April 22.
The women’s ISC finals will air May 2 at 8 p.m. Eastern,
while the men’s championship round will air May 9, also at 8
p.m. Eastern. Both shows will be broadcast on CBS Sports
Network.
Sophomore Daniel Hanson of Robert Morris-Illinois returns to
defend his ISC title in 2017 after qualifying through one of four
sectional events held in March.
The ITC will include the top 16 men’s teams and 16 women’s
teams in pursuit of the Helmer Cup. The men’s and women’s
ITC finals will be taped for broadcast April 22. The women’s
show will air on CBS Sports Network on May 15 at 8 p.m.
Eastern, and the men’s title match will be televised May 30 at
8 p.m. Eastern.
The McKendree men and Webber International women
claimed the titles in 2016, and both will be heading to Baton
Rouge in 2017.
The Raising Cane’s River Center also will host the USBC
Women’s Championships (April 23-July 10) and USBC
Queens (May 17-23).
