Women's Bowling Rallies for Third Straight Title, NCAA Bid

NEWPORT, Ky. -- Defending champion Belmont Abbey rallied from a 2-1 deficit in the final segment of the Mega-Match, then stormed to a 4-0 win in the deciding series to capture its third straight Conference Carolinas/Great Midwest Athletic Conference Women's Bowling Championship Sunday, defeating No. 2 seed Emmanuel twice. The win avenged a loss to the Lions in the winners' bracket final yesterday.

The Crusaders came out strong with an 899-867win in the traditional portion to open a 1-0 lead. They dropped the five-game Baker Total Pinfall portion by 13 pins and trailed in the deciding Best-of-Seven Baker series 2-1. In the final match to force another Best-of-Seven Baker series, Belmont Abbey finished with seven straight strikes, clinching the victory in the ninth frame.

In the "if-necessary" series of the double-elimination tournament, the Crusaders set the tone with a 180-114 victory, cruising to a four-game sweep.

With Sunday's victory, The Abbey earned an automatic bid to the 2026 NCAA Women's Collegiate Bowling Championship, which is scheduled to begin at four pre-determined regional sites (Arlington, Texas; Lansing, Mich.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Rochester, N.Y.) on April 2-4, with the National Championship slated for April 10-11 at Yorktown Lanes in Parma Heights, Ohio. The NCAA will unveil the 19 teams selected for the NCAA Tournament online at NCAA.com at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. The Crusaders will be making their third-straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Following the championship, Kiersten Michel was named tournament Most Valuable Player, while Canan Bademci and Aubrey Lloyd joined her on the All-Tournament Team.

Crusaders Win Fourth Straight Men's Bowling Championship

NEWPORT, Ky. -- Belmont Abbey won its fourth straight Conference Carolinas/Great Midwest Athletic Conference Men's Bowling Championship Sunday, rallying with three straight Baker game wins for a 2-1 victory over Emmanuel in the Mega-Match. The win capped an undefeated (3-0) weekend after earning the No. 1 seed in Friday's qualifying.

After dropping the traditional portion of the best-of-three format, the Crusaders evened the score with a 5-game Baker total pinfall win. The mega-match was then decided with a best-of-seven Baker series, which went 4-3 in favor of the Abbey. In the final game, The Abbey recorded strikes in the seventh, eighth and ninth frames to lead by just one pin. Both anchors rolled sevens to start the 10th, with Breaman picking up his spare. Emmanuel's anchor missed his spare, securing the title.

Following the championship, Connor Breaman was named tournament Most Valuable Player for the second straight year, while Jordan Woods and Gabriel Scott joined him on the All-Tournament Team.
