New Jersey City University will host the Women's NCAA Bowling Championships

How cool is that? New Jersey City University's women's team will host the NCAA Championships at the Brunswick Zone Carolier Lanes in North Brunswick. The tournament will be held April 8-10th and you can call 201-200-2444 for ticket info and let's get out there and show them some Jersey City love. How fab would it be to win an NCAA national championship right here in Cool City?

The following teams will join NJCU in the finals:

Arkansas State University
University of Central Missouri
Delaware State University
Fairleigh Dickinson University
University of Maryland, Eastern Shore
University of Nebraska, Lincoln
Vanderbilt University

We're sure these are fine schools with dedicated student athletes. It's almost a shame to have to say they all suck.

We could lift entire paragraphs about how the matches are scored and how the brackets work but it's easier to just link it.

Didn't get enough of the NCAA Final Four title action bunky? Follow the New Jersey City University women's bowling team quest for an NCAA title

That's right ten pin fans, the New Jersey City University women's bowling team is ranked #7 in the nation and is kicking ass and taking names. We'll even bet they don't use alley balls. The squad is competing in the NCAA Bowling Championships in scenic (and trust us when we say that, we know the area) Canton, Michigan. If you would like a link to LIVE tournament action, well you've come to the right place. Click HERE for tournament streaming action.

Here's wishing the Gothic Knights all the luck in the world. May your balls roll true. By the way, enjoy the sights and sounds of Canton, Mi. Johnny has a few friends in Canton still and thinks they'd agree, "Canton: People come, people go, nothing ever happens."

UPDATE: Johnny's been looking in on some of the action and now sees the joy of what bowling a strike on a team looks like. Any time Johnny has been bowling, strikes aren't uh, on the menu shall we say. But woe be to mice and other small critters in the gutters.

UPDATE #2: Hey, camera guy, less talkie more bowling sounds, shouldn't be too hard in a BOWLING ALLEY. We're not interested in you, we want the ladies. Shut your yap.

UPDATE #3: University of Maryland Eastern Shore SUUUUCKKKKKSSSS, Go NJCU!!!!!

UPDATE #4: It looks like NJCU is coming back/moving up. From what the Jersey City Desk Sports Department can tell, this is a good thing. Scoring update HERE. Here's hoping the University of Nebraska gets some bad clams at dinner. Oh, and Camera Guy, we apologized in the comments for being so rude. You're doing an excellent job. We just couldn't see and that XM station the alley had on was awful. Write it off to crankiness on our part. We're still in here pulling for you all! Please pass along our support to the ladies.

UPDATE #5: Here is the team we're cheering for. Ranked #7 nationally and no seniors on the team. We hope nobody turns pro early. The ONLY Division III team in the show! We are very proud of ALL of you!!!
