Reivers Head Coach Douglas Kuberski and Assistant Coach Chad Goodwin have announced the inaugural recruiting class of 10 student-athletes for the men's bowling program.

"This is a talented group of athletes who are passionate about bowling, their education, and being a part of a team," said Kuberski. "As a group, they bring with them a number of high school state finals appearances and championships, and they are hungry to take their game to the next level. We are confident they will represent Iowa Western with competitiveness and class both on and off the lanes. To have the opportunity to work with them is an honor we don't take lightly."

"We believe this is a special group that has the potential to hit the ground running in year one," said Goodwin. "It's a great blend of local, regional, and national talent. We are counting the days until we are all on campus together and getting to work."
