Recap from 2021: The Vulcans won their first-ever Pacific West Conference title after topping Hawaii Pacific and Azusa Pacific to go 3-0 in the PacWest tournament. 
 
The Vulcans continued to win the NCAA Division II West Region (2-0) and then advance to the NCAA Championships for the third-straight season. For the second consecutive year, they won a quarterfinal match before falling to the No. 1 seed which left them in a third place tie. 

Back to 2022: UHH was ranked No. 4 in the nation by the ITA Preseason Top 25 Coaches Poll. Barry University took the No. 1 spot after winning their second-consecutive NCAA Championship in 2021.
