In April of 2007, the bowling team at Vanderbilt won the University's first-ever team NCAA national Championship. It was the team's third year in existence. The team compiled an NCAA best record of 74-14, which was an 18-game win increase from the previous season. The team was the first collegiate bowling team to visit the White House and to meet the President in June 2007.

Coach John Williamson was named bowling's "National Coach of the Year." His team had a rare perfect 300 game in the NCAA Championship and his line-up consisted of four sophomores and a freshman. All ten members of the team made the SEC Academic Honor Roll with a team composite grade point average of 3.39. Josie Earnest, a freshman, was named the NCAA tournament MVP. Other team members were named second, third and honorable mention All-Americans.

Looking ahead, Vanderbilt has signed the #1 high school bowler in the country to a national letter of intent.
