Cedar Crest College Athletics issued the following announcement on May 27.
The athletic programs at Cedar Crest College had an impressive year, capturing two conference championships and finishing as the runner-up in field hockey and tennis. After final calculations, the Falcons earned second place overall in the 2021-22 Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) President's Cup standings and third overall on the women's side. The second-place finish is the best in school history.
Cedar Crest started the year with a pair of championships in the fall, marking the first titles for both programs. The first title was collected by the cross country program. The Falcons had two runners in the top ten and six in the top 20 to capture the title. The other championship came from the volleyball team, which finished 20-6 overall and 9-0 in league play, culminating in the CSAC Championship and the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance. Cedar Crest finished as the runner-up in both field hockey and tennis.

Snook Jr. "This finish, once again, confirms the level of talent we have in our department and commitment of both the Athletic Department and College to providing the best experience we can to our student-athletes. Congratulations to our students, coaches, and staff that made this happen."
