The Dutch have won 17 conference titles-including 11 since 1975. They've also made 11 NCAA Division III tournament appearances. Central returns four starters from last year's squad which reached the American Rivers tournament semifinals and posted a 3-4 record over a modified schedule.

Central opens the 2021-22 campaign at home on November 6 against Bethany Lutheran College (Minn.) at 6 p.m. The Dutch non-conference slate is highlighted by a trip to Orlando, Florida for the Hope College RDV Tournament Dec. 29-30.
