Team and individual national titles up for grabs at 2025 ITC and ISC in Las Vegas
April 11, 2025
LAS VEGAS – Many of the nation’s top collegiate bowlers and teams are making their way to Las Vegas to compete in the 2025 Intercollegiate Team Championships and Intercollegiate Singles Championships.
The journey to take home the top team and individual titles of the 2024-2025 United States Bowling Congress Collegiate season begins Monday at 9 p.m. Eastern at South Point Bowling Plaza with the official practice session for the 24 male and 24 female qualifiers for the ISC.
The week will wrap up on Saturday, April 19, with four taped televised finals, which will air on CBS Sports Network on four consecutive Tuesdays in April and May. The ISC women’s finals will air at 7 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, April 22, followed by the ISC men’s finals at 8 p.m. Eastern on April 29, the ITC women’s finals at 7 p.m. Eastern on May 6 and the ITC men’s finals at 7 p.m. Eastern on May 13.
All qualifying and match-play rounds at the ISC and ITC will be streamed live on BowlTV.com.
Competition at the ISC kicks off Tuesday at noon Eastern with a six-game qualifying block to determine seeding for the single-elimination bracket. The top eight qualifiers in both the men’s and women’s divisions will receive first-round byes with the first three rounds of match play featuring a three-game total-pinfall format to determine which player advances.
The final four players in each division after three rounds will advance to the semifinals and finals on CBS Sports Network with one-game matches determining the 2025 singles champions.
Once the singles finalists have been determined on Wednesday morning, attention will shift to this year’s team competition, which kicks off at 3 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday with the first of two ITC practice sessions.
Wednesday’s festivities will conclude with the annual Night of Champions Banquet, which will be held inside South Point Hotel and Casino from 9:30 p.m. - 12:30 a.m. Eastern.
The Night of Champions Banquet will begin with the recognition of teams and the announcement of this year’s International Bowling Media Association and National Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association award winners and will conclude with the induction of five members into the 2025 class of the USBC Collegiate Bowling Hall of Fame.
Once the festivities have concluded, it will be back to business as ITC qualifying begins Thursday morning at 11 a.m. Eastern.
Qualifying will consist of 24 Baker games to determine seeding for the double-elimination match-play bracket. All matches leading up to the title match will be contested in a best-of-seven Baker format.
CBS Sports Network’s coverage of the championship round will feature a best-of-five Baker final in each division.
The Webber International men will have the opportunity to defend their ITC title from the 2024 event in the greater Louisville area; however, a new champion will emerge on the women’s side since Wichita State opted to only compete in NCAA postseason play this season.
Teams and individuals qualified for the ITC and ISC through four sectional qualifiers held in March. The sectionals were contested in Addison, Illinois; Allen Park, Michigan; Fort Worth, Texas; and Smyrna, Tennessee.
On the women’s side, a total of seven student-athletes advanced to the ISC from Addison, six each from Allen Park and Fort Worth and five from Smyrna. The men’s division advanced eight ISC finalists from Addison, six from Fort Worth and five each from Allen Park and Smyrna.
Teams qualifying for the ITC had to finish in the top four of their sectionals based on 64-game Baker pinfall totals.
The Milligan men and Judson women managed to accomplish the feat for the first time in 2025. As such, both programs will be making their ITC national finals debuts next week in Las Vegas.
