The Saint Vincent College women's bowling team has been ranked #13 in the nation by the National Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association, ranking all teams in all NCAA divisions, along with NAIA and national Club programs.
 
The Bearcats moved up four spots from the most recent list, and the #13 ranking is the highest in school history in the NCBCA poll.
 
So far this year, Saint Vincent has won five of 12 tournaments, and the team is currently #5 in the nation in US Bowling Congress Collegiate points, among 163 programs. 
 
Earlier this week, SVC cracked the top-20 for the first time in a separate poll, the International Bowling Media Association's list of top teams, coming in at #19, again among all collegiate teams nationwide, representing NCAA, NAIA and Club programs.
 
Last month, Saint Vincent received its highest-ever national ranking in the All-Divisions NCAA poll conducted by the National Tenpin Coaches Association, ranked #21 as the only Division III school in the nation to make the top-25.  The next NTCA poll is due next week, and will include a separate Division II-III poll, with the Bearcats expected to break into the top-10. 
 
Saint Vincent has the highest winning percentage in the NCAA this year (94.8%) with a 37-2 record.
