SMSU finished 9-5 during the abbreviated 2020-21 season and just missed by percentage points in qualifying for the eight-team NSIC Tournament. It was the program's first back-to-back winning seasons since 2001-02 and 2002-03. 

In 2019-20, SMSU closed with a 16-12 overall record, notching its first winning season since 2009-10, while the 16 victories was the program’s highest total since the 2004-05 season.
