Marquette team continued to suffer from the effects of warm weather and were unable to practice much throughout the season.

The captain was able to get in the second game, strengthening the team, but it didn't change the outcome and Marquette was swept in their opening weekend.

The team played their first home game in nearly two years when they took on defending western champion Minnesota.

The Blue and Gold demonstrated a great deal of improvement with a 0–0 tie I the first game.

The Gophers couldn't be contained, however, and ended up winning the next game 4–1 with captain Thomas scoring Marquette's first goal of the season.
