PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Western Illinois University, established in 1899 and located in Macomb with an enrollment of 5,337 students, competes in NCAA Division I-FCS athletics through the Ohio Valley Conference. The Leathernecks women's golf program operates on a spring season schedule, competing annually within a conference that emphasizes competitive balance across the Midwest and Southeast regions.
