Ms. Elizabeth "Liz" Bowling
Assistant Coach

Elizabeth Bowling is the newest member of the Patriots Ladies’ coaching staff. She hails from Harrodsburg, KY and attended Waggener Traditional High School in Louisville.

Bowling was graduated from the University of the Cumberlands in 2003 with a BS in Public Health. During her time on the volleyball team, Bowling was a four year starter as a setter and right side hitter. She was 1 st team All-Conference for two seasons.

“Cumberland has always had a competitive program in one of the toughest conferences, so I am excited to be a part of it and see how far we can take this year’s team,” said Bowling.

Bowling also recognizes that being a coach will be a challenge. “You get a whole new perspective and understanding of the game,” stated Bowling. One thing that Bowling stresses to her players is to always leave everything you have out on the court.
