Garden City, N.Y. - The Adelphi University women's bowling team will welcome in an elite signing to its 2025-26 recruiting class. The Panthers will be looking to continue building upon the progress they have made under O'Connor's guidance and on the hunt for an illusive ECC title

It has been a pleasure working with Marissa and her family during this recruiting process. From the first time I watched her roll a ball down the lane and our conversation after, where she spoke about forestry and environmental science, I knew that she was a perfect fit for Adelphi and our program. Marissa's happy nature and love for the sport have shown through the process. It is a pleasure to have such a talented bowler and bright student joining us as a Panther.

Head Coach Arthur O'Connor

O'Connor and the Panthers will look to continue their early season momentum in the Spring season. Stay tuned to AUPanthers.com for more information on the bowling program.
