Bowman played in three matches, logging 10 sets of play, and averaged a team-high 2.90 kills while her 3.20 digs-per-set average was third on the squad. In the team's opening match of the Invitational, a 3-0 triumph over Emory and Henry, Bowman led all players with 12 kills and nine digs. She followed that performance with eight terminations, second on the team, eight digs and three blocks assists in a 3-0 verdict over Maryville. In the final outing of the weekend, Bowman was second high on the club with eight kills and 15 digs in aiding in a 3-1 win against Wellesley.

Bowman has played in 14 of the Eagles' 15 matches this year and has recorded six efforts of double-figure kills and has totaled five double-doubles (kills/digs).
