The Colonials, led by third year head coach Andrew Toole, played their home games at the Charles L. Sewall Center and were members of the Northeast Conference. They finished the season 24–11, 14–4 in NEC play to be regular season NEC champions. They lost in the semifinals of the Northeast Conference tournament to Mount St. Mary's.
