McKendree University is a Division II program in Lebanon, Illinois. The women's freestyle program started during the 2013-14 season under Sam Schmitz, who led the Bearcats to titles at the first three National Collegiate Women's Wrestling Championships. Alexio Garcia was hired during the 2022-23 season.

The National Collegiate Women's Wrestling Championships were established in 2020 for all NCAA divisions to compete. Each team could send a maximum of 15 wrestlers to the postseason, but only 10 could score points. 

The WCWA (Women's Collegiate Wrestling Association) was created in 2008. It included all divisions, and the end-of-the-year tournament was considered the college national championship. The final WCWA championship was held in 2020.

The NCAA established women's freestyle wrestling as a championship sport for the 2025-26 season. A maximum of 10 wrestlers (one per weight) can qualify for the NCAA Championships. 

Below are the postseason rosters for all of McKendree's teams.
