The women won the Midwest Conference tournament and received the automatic bid, while the men's team received an "at-large" bid. Both teams were eliminated in the first round of play.

In 2007, both teams again qualified for the tournament. The Pioneers endured a long road to win the Midwest Conference tournament, including freak power outages that forced the championship game to be delayed and moved twice (first to Monmouth College, then to nearby Knox College). Upon reaching the NCAA tournament, they proceeded to defeat 7th-ranked Augustana College in the first round of play, and 5th ranked University of St. Thomas, to advance to the "Sweet Sixteen" sectional level of play. As for the women, they received an at-large bid to the tournament, handily defeating Illinois Wesleyan College in the first round, but were defeated in the second round of play by 25th ranked Luther College.
