NEW HAVEN, Conn. (July 30, 2025) – Chestnut Hill College will once again serve as the host institution for the 2025-26 Central Atlantic Collegiate College Women’s Bowling Championship tournament. The four-team, double-elimination event will be held at Pike Lanes in Southampton, Pa., on Saturday and Sunday, March 21-22.
The CACC Women’s Bowling Championship is in its fourth year, with Chestnut Hill serving as the host each time. The tournament returns to Pike Lanes, a 12-lane center, for the third consecutive occasion. All 12 lanes will be used throughout the event for practice, warmup, and competition.
“The CACC has found the perfect partner for our championship at Pike Lanes,” said CACC Commissioner Dan Mara. “Having a dedicated venue for the duration of the championship has enhanced the atmosphere for competitors and spectators. As a result, the CACC Women’s Bowling Championship is second to none.”
Six CACC institutions sponsor women’s bowling. The top four teams in the league standings, as determined by two conference regular-season tournaments, will advance to the CACC Championship, which will be conducted in the mega-match format. At the championship, four matches will take place on Saturday, two in a morning session and two in the afternoon, with one of the afternoon matches being an elimination contest. Another elimination match takes place on Sunday morning, with the two teams remaining advancing to the championship round.
Felician University is the defending champion, unseating Caldwell University in the 2025 final. Caldwell had captured the first two CACC titles. With last year’s victory, Felician earned the CACC’s first automatic qualifier into the NCAA National Collegiate Bowling Championship, an honor that will also go to the 2026 champion.
Admission for each day of the CACC Championship is $10 for adults and $5 for children, students and senior citizens. The CACC Network will also provide live coverage of the tournament.
