The North Star Conference or NSC was a women's conference in the NCAA. The conference existed from the 1983-1984 school year to the 1991-1992 school year. The conference was effectively absorbed by the Mid-Continent Conference, as six of its final seven members moved their women's sports to that organization (the remaining member, Akron, moved all its sports for both sexes to the Mid-American Conference).
