NEW HAVEN, Conn. (October 6, 2025) – The Felician University women’s bowling team is ranked No. 22 in the 2025-26 National Tenpin Coaches Association preseason all-divisions poll. The Golden Falcons are also listed at No. 4 in the 2025-26 NTCA preseason Division II/III Poll.

Felician is the only member of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference member which appears in either poll. The Golden Falcons, who had a 75-34 dual won-lost record last year, were recently selected for first place in the CACC Preseason Coaches Poll.
