The season ended for the both the FSU Men's and Women's Bowling team on March 15th as they failed to advance out of the USBC Sectionals in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Both teams had qualified for the first round of post season with only the top 4 from each sectional advancing to the Intercollegiate Team Championships in Rockford, Illinois. Both teams finished 5^th in their respective division, the men missing a trip to ITC by a scant 18 pins.

Sectionals brought to an end the collegiate careers of three members of the FSU Men's team. Seniors David Beck and Eddie Bloodsworth along with Law Student Leon Walsh will be graduating from FSU.
