UIS women's golf senior Elaine Grant begins her final tournament as a Prairie Star on Tuesday morning, competing in the NCAA Division II Women's Golf Championship at PGA National Golf Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
One of the top golfers in program history and the program's only two-time national qualifier, Grant earned First Team All-GLVC honors this season. She made four regional appearances during her career — three as part of the team lineup and one as an individual in her senior season.
The Illinois Springfield baseball team earned the No. 2 seed in the Midwest Region and will host one of two NCAA Division II Midwest Regional sites this week at the UIS Baseball Field.
The Prairie Stars enter the postseason with a 34-18 record and return to NCAA Regional play after missing the tournament in 2024 and 2025. UIS is making its sixth NCAA postseason appearance in program history and will host this round for the first time since 2023.
The Illinois Springfield softball team saw its GLVC Tournament appearance come to an end Thursday with a 6-3 loss to Maryville at the EastSide Centre.
UIS collected three doubles and a home run in the game, but Maryville used a four-run third inning to take control before holding off a late Prairie Stars rally.
UIS men's tennis finished the 2025-26 season with a 7-11 overall record while competing against a challenging schedule that featured several regional and GLVC opponents. The Prairie Stars earned victories over Chicago State, Thomas More, Michigan Tech, Evangel, Roosevelt, Quincy, and Kentucky Wesleyan during the year.
The 2025-26 season marked a significant step forward for the UIS women's tennis program, as the Prairie Stars doubled their win total from the previous season and showed steady growth throughout the year under first-year head coach Henrique Leal.
