The Huskies, however, began the year playing Michigan, who had yet to formally adopt the sport.
During a three-day stay in Ann Arbor, MCM won the series 2–1 and looked like they could pose a challenge to Notre Dame.
They played host to the Irish at the end of the month and, though they pushed the second game into overtime, fell in consecutive matches to the golden domers.
A return game was played when MCM took a trip to Minneapolis the following week and the Michiganders confirmed the earlier results with a second win.
The Huskies remained hot in their stay, defeating an amateur club from Fort Snelling and then downing St. Thomas before returning home.
