STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. – The 2024-25 NAIA Women’s Bowling All-American teams and specialty awards were announced, Thursday, in conjunction with the 2025 NAIA Men’s Bowling National Championship in Sterling Heights, Mich.

Brooke Salzman is the 2024-25 NAIA Women’s Bowling Player of the Year, in her second year with Mount Mercy (Iowa), while Pikeville (Ky.) freshman Katarina Hagler is the 2024-25 NAIA Rookie of the Year.

Mount Mercy head coach Andy Diercks is the 2024-25 NAIA Women’s Bowling Coach of the Year.

The NAIA Bowling Executive Committee, along with a member from each conference/grouping, has a representative on the All-American Committee, in addition to current board and advisory board members. The fifteen players agreed upon by the formed committee are named All-Americans, with five being placed on the first team, second team, and third team.

The same committee also selects the Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year award winners. The selection committee determined which players qualify for All-American consideration based upon Field Average, Average Games bowled, Average Differential, Top 5, Top 10 and 1st place finishes for individual standings.

The NAIA will crown its 2024-25 Women’s Bowling National Champion this week, at 5 Star Lanes in Sterling Heights, a tournament that gets underway Thursday, continues with bracket play Friday, and concludes with the semifinal round and championship Saturday.

Saturday’s semifinal round, at 8 a.m. (Eastern) and the championship match, at 2 p.m. (Eastern) will air on UEN and the NAIA Network, at www.naia.org/watch.
