After having just six weeks to build a team and finishing in last place with a total of six wins (three in conference) during the 2023-24 season, Head Coach Chris Tifft and the Lumberjacks have turned things around in 2024-25. They have clinched a postseason berth and currently sit tied for fourth place with a record of 15-10 (11-9 CCAA). The Jacks’ final two home games will determine whether they enter the CCAA Tournament as the number three, number 4, or number 5 seed.
The Jacks have made remarkable strides in just under two seasons. The 2024-25 season marks the first winning season since 2018-19, and depending on the results of the remaining games, marks the first season above .500 in conference play since the 2015-16 season. The Jacks have also received votes in the D2CSC regional rankings three times and cracked the Top-10 poll twice for the first time since 2021.
Against conference opponents, this 2024-25 team:
- Is one of two teams (Chico State being the other) to take down first place and nationally ranked Cal State Dominguez Hills
- Has earned its first season sweep over Cal State San Bernardino since the 2015-16 season, and beat CSUSB on the road for the first time since 2017
- Defeated Cal Poly Pomona for the first time since Dec. 31, 2018, snapping an 11-game losing streak to the Broncos
- Has posted a six-game winning streak, marking the program's longest stretch since February 2015
