The NCAA Division II East Regional gets underway Monday morning in Findlay, Ohio, with 18 teams and six individuals competing for a berth at the NCAA Championships.

UIS golfer Elaine Grant will represent the Prairie Stars at the regional, competing as an individual qualifier in her fourth NCAA regional appearance.

UIS softball swept Upper Iowa on Senior Day Sunday, taking game one 2-0 before completing the doubleheader with a 7-2 win.

In the opener, the Prairie Stars scored in the third and fourth innings to back a complete-game shutout from Calista Stahlhut. Senior Jaden Watts scored the first run after reaching on a walk and coming home on a catcher's error, while Bailey Masching later doubled and scored on an RBI single from senior Olivia DeLuca. 

UIS closed out its weekend at the GLVC Outdoor Track & Field Championships, finishing 11th of 13 scoring teams. All team points came from Madelyn Miller-Ross, who delivered a championship performance in the 10,000 meters on Thursday night.

Miller-Ross captured the GLVC title in the 10K with a winning time of 35:09. Her season-best mark of 35:02 ranks top-25 in NCAA Division II. In the same race, Olivia Thomsen placed 18th in 41:16, followed by Allison Thompson in 19th at 41:57.
