SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY AT CARBONDALE SALUKIS WOMEN'S TENNIS

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, founded in 1869 and enrolling 11,785 students, competes as a Missouri Valley Conference member in NCAA Division I women's tennis. The Salukis operate their spring season program from their home venue in Carbondale, Illinois, where they balance competitive tennis against the demanding schedule of the MVC. As a conference that spans multiple Midwestern states, Missouri Valley competition requires consistent travel and preparation throughout the spring campaign.

Competing at the Division I-FCS level, SIU's women's tennis program participates in one of college athletics' most geographically diverse regular seasons. The Salukis' spring schedule typically features matches against regional and conference rivals while developing players within a 145-year-old institution known for its athletic and academic traditions. The program draws from a student body of nearly 12,000 at a university with deep roots in Southern Illinois, where women's athletics have remained a cornerstone of the Saluki identity since the school's founding during the Reconstruction era.
