The Caimans conclude the 2021-22 season 17-6 overall, reaching the national championship game for a third time in four years. Along the way, Hostos, who were nationally ranked all season long, captured its fifth consecutive CUNYAC Championship while reaching the finals of the NJCAA Region XV Championship.

Hostos led after three quarters of play (47-42) but were unable to hold off the top-seeded Express in a rematch of the 2019 NJCAA DIII Championship Game. Owens shot 53-percent from the field in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Caimans by a 23-9 margin to secure the program's first-ever NJCAA DIII National Championship.
 
Dimon Walker led the Caimans in scoring, dropping 13 points. Shaina Lewis finished one rebound shy of a double-double, turning in 10 points, nine rebounds, four assists and four steals. Aiyana Hicks chipped in with 11 points in the loss.
