D3 Bowling

Bowling is currently only NCAA sanctioned for women and there's no divisions so D3 schools can compete against schools like Nebraska, Vanderbilt, and Wichita St. Last year the championship was won by Youngstown St over Jacksonville St

The 2025-26 NCAA Women's bracket is out. Two D3 teams are in the 19 team field.

Carroll (52-35) won the CCIW tournament and is headed to the Lansing regional. They will face Fayetteville St, a D2 school from North Carolina, in the opening round which is single elimination. If they win they'll move on to the double elimination portion of the bracket and take on Jacksonville St who is the #1 team in the country.

St Vincent (45-3) repeated as AMCC champs and will head to the Pittsburgh regional. The Bearcats finished with the best record in the country with a .938 win percentage. They also play in the opening round facing Belmont Abbey, a D2 school from North Carolina. If they win they'll face 3rd overall seed Arkansas St.
