The 2018 NCAA Bowling Championship was the 15th edition of the NCAA Bowling Championship, an annual tournament to determine the national champion of women's NCAA collegiate ten-pin bowling.[1] The tournament was played at the Tropicana Lanes in St. Louis, Missouri from April 12–14, 2018.[2]
Qualification
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 ten teams contested the championship (six automatically qualifying conference champions and four at-large bids), which consisted of a modified double-elimination style tournament.
