PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, established in 1957 and serving 12,813 students in southwestern Illinois, fields its baseball program as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference competing at the NCAA Division I level. The Cougars play their home contests at a campus venue designed to showcase the program's spring season schedule within the competitive structure of the OVC, which includes institutions across the South and Midwest regions.
