The 2007 NCAA Bowling Championship was the fourth annual tournament to determine the national champion of women's NCAA collegiate ten-pin bowling. The tournament was played in Apopka, Florida during April 2007.[1]

Vanderbilt defeated Maryland–Eastern Shore in the championship match, 4 games to 3, to win their first national title.[2]

Qualification

Since there is only one national collegiate championship for women's bowling, all NCAA bowling programs (whether from Division I, Division II, or Division III) were eligible. A total of 8 teams were invited to contest this championship, which consisted of a modified double-elimination style tournament.
