The 2021-22 campaign saw four different players post individual top 25 finishes during the season while the Blue Demons top team finish was a fourth-place showing at the Tom Tontimonia Invitational. In 2020-21, the Blue Demons claimed the team title at the Alabama A&M Golf Classic and finished the season with three individuals in the top 16 at the BIG EAST Championship. Conor Glennon was tied for 10th, Nik Gatmaytan was in a group in 13th place and Artemiy Yalovenko finished in 16th place.
