Hailey Bozych and Emmanuel McPherson received National Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association (NCBCA) Second Team All-American honors for the 2025-26 season Wednesday night at the annual Night of Champions and Collegiate Hall of Fame banquet in Green Bay, Wisconsin prior to the start of the Intercollegiate Team Championships. It marked the first time since 2019 that a Lindenwood women's bowler was named an All-American and the first times since 2020 that a men's bowler received that recognition.

Bozych and McPherson also were recognized by the International Bowling Media Association (IBMA). McPherson was named an IBMA Men's First Team All-American while Bozych was named an IBMA Second Team All-American.
McPherson, a senior, compiled one of the best seasons in Lindenwood history, posting the fifth highest raw collegiate average in the country at 220.438 and 11^th highest average differential at +32.021. He finished in the top 25 individually eight out of 10 events bowled and earned All-Tournament Team honors (top five) four times. He led the Lions in four other major statistical categories including strike percentage, overall spare percentage, single pin spare percentage, and overall fill percentage.

Bozych, also a senior, almost duplicated her Lady Lions program record average from last year with 203.729, the 12^th highest raw average in the nation for the 2025-26 season, and she had the fourth highest average differential in the country at +35.479. She finished in the top 25 individually in eight of 10 tournaments bowled and earned All-Tournament honors six out of 10 times. She led the Lady Lions in four other statistical categories as well, including strike percentage, overall spare percentage, single pin spare percentage, and overall fill percentage.

With McPherson and Bozych named NCBCA All-Americans, it was the first time that Lindenwood bowling had both a men's and women's All-American in the same season in 12 years. When they were both named IBMA All-Americans, it was the first time that Lindenwood bowling had both a men's and women's awarded that honor in the same season in 14 years, since the 2011-12 season.
