KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The official qualifiers for the second annual NAIA Women's Bowling National Championship have been announced.

Twelve women’s teams have qualified for the 2022 championship. The automatic qualifiers were determined by conference/group championship, conference/group regular-season winner or conference/group regular-season runner-up.
