Vanderbilt made a huge comeback, erasing a 3-1 deficit Saturday (April 15) to defeat Arkansas State and win the National Championship.

The Commodores rose up from the loser’s bracket after losing to Arkansas State on Friday to beat McKendree University on Friday and Nebraska on Saturday to advance to the final. Vandy found themselves down 2-0 and 3-1 before rallying for the win.

Vandy is no stranger to winning as this is the third National Championship in program history, as they also won the title back in 2007 and 2018.

Senior Mabel Cummins capped her fantastic season with being named NCAA Player of the Year. Vanderbilt Bowling Head Coach & Founder John Williamson was named NCAA Coach of the Year in his 17th season with the Commodores.
