Alabama News Center — Alabama’s Jacksonville State University women bowlers take home Division I national championship

By: Alabama News Center Staff

The victory is believed to be the first college national championship won by any team in any sport during its inaugural year of competition.

In their very first season, the Jacksonville State University women’s bowling team are NCAA national champions.

In a battle between the nation’s top two teams (the 12th time they had met this season), the top-ranked and top-seeded Gamecocks (103-23) found themselves in a 3-2 hole behind No. 2 Arkansas State with their backs against the wall.

The Gamecocks stepped up in front of a national television audience and a packed house at Detroit’s historic Thunderbowl Lanes to take down Arkansas State for the title.
