ARLINGTON, Texas – The nation’s best collegiate bowling programs have their sights set on postseason play now that sectional assignments have been announced for the 2025 Intercollegiate Team Championships.
The sectional assignments were broadcast live on BowlTV on Wednesday night and introduced the 80 women’s programs and 80 men’s teams moving ahead in the 2024-2025 United States Bowling Congress Collegiate season with the opportunity to claim the coveted Helmer Cup.
The sectional qualifiers will be held across four locations March 8-9. The locations include Stardust Bowl in Addison, Illinois; Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, Michigan; Cityview Lanes in Fort Worth, Texas; and Smyrna Bowling Center in Smyrna, Tennessee.
The top four teams in each division will advance from their sectional and head to South Point Bowling Plaza in Las Vegas for the 2025 ITC from April 16-19.
The regular season concluded over the weekend, and both squads from Mount Mercy finished as the top-ranked teams heading into the sectional qualifiers. For the Mount Mercy women, this marks the third year in a row they’ve ended the regular season atop the rankings in their division.
The Mount Mercy women are looking to make their sixth consecutive appearance at the ITC and will compete at the Addison Sectional as will the men’s team.
Webber International is the defending national champion on the men’s side entering postseason play. The Warriors, who have captured three ITC titles, will be starting their title defense at the Smyrna Sectional.
There will be a new women’s national champion in 2025 as Wichita State opted to compete exclusively in NCAA postseason competition this season.
The final Tier I event of the 2024-2025 regular season took place Feb. 15-16 at the Hoosier Classic in Indianapolis, and the bracket wins in the 56th edition of the tournament went to the Savannah College of Art and Design-Savannah men and the Judson women.
