The program transitioned to NCAA Division I beginning with the 2023 season. In their first DI season, the Eagles went 17-38 and finished 8th in the Ohio Valley Conference, qualifying for the conference tournament by a half game over Lindenwood. The Eagles were eliminated in the OVC play-in round by a 5-4 loss to Eastern Illinois, who went on to win the OVC championship.
