The program goes to the next level when Sydney Moss transfers into the program. This leads to unprecedented success that includes back-to-back D-III national championships.
The Saints would go on to win a third national championship in its last season of D-III competition before reclassifying to NAIA.
The NAIA journey has been a tough but also a rewarding one in a very short period of time. After the first season, the team was robbed of a chance to participate in the NAIA national tournament due to COVID-19.
The second season was especially difficult while playing through the pandemic but his team has a great season on the floor. They reach the national championship game before falling to Westmont in the title game.
