After beginning with a win over the Yankee Division Club team, BC dropped a three overtime game to Massachusetts Agricultural College, one of the top second-tier schools.
Ten days later the team lost again, this time to MIT[1] after the rematch with MAC had to be scrubbed.
The losses lit a fire under the players who ran roughshod over their next three opponents, posting three consecutive shutouts.
Even when they did finally surrender a goal, BC refused to lose for the remainder of the season and finished with a 6–2 record.
Despite the success, former team captain Walter Falvey stepped down as head coach after the season.
