ELMHURST, Ill.  – The Elmhurst Bowling program will undergo a leadership change entering the 2026-27 season, as head coach Torrie Bartalone departs to accept the head coaching position at her alma mater, Valparaiso (Ind.).

Under her leadership, the Bluejays reached the CCIW Championship in 2025, after a three-year hiatus. In her four seasons at Elmhurst, Bartalone saw five All-CCIW Team honorees, including the 2025 CCIW Player of the Year in Mary Graves.

A national search to fill the head coaching position is currently underway.
