Leading the Pioneers is Edward Raven, a nationally-certified United States Bowling Congress coach and a former 10-year member (1994-2004) of the Professional Bowlers Association.

Raven, who will be making his coaching debut at the collegiate level, has worked with several bowling legends and all-stars, including Don Johnson, Fred Borden and Jeri Edwards. He has also collaborated with 12-time PBA Champion Jason Belmonte and Diandra Asbaty at the International Art of Bowling.

In his 48 years on the lanes, Raven, an assistant professor at LIU Post, has tallied 31 scores in the 270-279 range, and bowled one perfect game. Additionally, he has posted four 800-plus series and four 7-10 split conversions.

"We are pleased to appoint Edward Raven as the first head coach of our women's bowling program," Collins stated. "Edward had shown a strong expertise and great interest in starting up the program. We are happy to have such a passionate coach on board at LIU Post."

"I am excited for the opportunity to be the head coach of the Pioneers' women's bowling team," said Raven. "Bowling has been my passion for many years and I am looking forward to our inaugural season. This is a fantastic opportunity, not only for myself, but for the student-athletes as well, to not only compete in a sport that they love, but to get the chance at an excellent education at LIU Post."

Raven also mentioned: "LIU Post prides itself on its academic excellence, and we are enthusiastic about bowling and getting a quality education. With a strong work ethic, the desire to succeed on the lanes and a commitment to learning in the classroom, we have the opportunity to develop the program and our student-athletes into some of the best around."

Raven currently resides in North Babylon, N.Y.
