The 2011 NCAA Bowling Championship was the eighth annual tournament to determine the national champion of women's NCAA collegiate ten-pin bowling. The tournament was played at Skore Lanes in Taylor, Michigan from April 15–16, 2011.[1]

Maryland Eastern Shore defeated Vanderbilt in the championship match, 4 games to 2 (215–197, 164–193, 201–248, 234–204, 235–166, 192–181), to win their second national title.[2] The Hawks were coached by Sharon Brummell.

Maryland Eastern Shore's Kristina Frahm was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Frahm, along with four other bowlers, also comprised the All Tournament Team.

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.
