The Blue Devils were 3-1 last season, defeating Gustavus Adolphus, Hamline University and UW-Eau Claire. Fans were not allowed in attendance during the 2021 season. The WIAC Championship was canceled, as was the NCGA Championship for the second consecutive year. None of the teams in the NCGA's East Regional conducted competitive seasons last winter.
