The 2016 season saw the Fire repeat as The Sun Conference regular season champions, and returned to the NAIA National Tournament, winning the Davenport Bracket to earn a berth in the NAIA World Series for the first time in just the fourth year of competition. SEU opened the tournament with an upset win over St. Gregory's, then shocked two-time defending champion Auburn Montgomery, before losing to eventual finalists St. Xavier and Oklahoma City to finish in third place. The Fire were ranked fourth in the final NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll. 

The Fire made its third-straight trip to the NAIA National Championship Opening Round, receiving an at-large bid to the Hattiesburg Bracket. As the No. 3 seed, the Fire defeated Southern Oregon in the first game, and knocked off the host William Carey to advance to the championship game, where they lost twice to Southern Oregon.
