Malikah Willis guides Maryland Eastern Shore's women's basketball program from Princess Anne, Maryland, where the university has operated since its establishment in 1886. The Hawks compete in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference during winter play at the Hytche Center, representing an institution with deep roots in historically Black higher education. With 13 players on the current roster, Willis directs a compact squad navigating Division I competition.
