# 2021–22 California Baptist Lancers women's basketball team

The 2021–22 California Baptist Lancers women's basketball team represented California Baptist University during the 2021–22 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. They were led by head coach Jarrod Olson who was in his ninth season at California Baptist. The Lancers play their home games at the CBU Events Center in Riverside, California as members of the Western Athletic Conference.
This season will be CBU's fourth of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Lancers were not eligible for NCAA postseason play.
