Because the NCAA had previously announced that all winter sports athletes would retain whatever eligibility they possessed through at least the following year, none of Sacred Heart's players would lose a season of play.

The Pioneers were not alone in suffering through COVID-related cancellations, but Sacred Heart saw their opposition increase in difficulty as a result.

Additionally, Sacred Heart played Army (another ranked team) six times during the season, a full third of their games.

While SHU kept most of those matches close they did lose to the Black Knights 5 times during the season, which accounts for half of the team's losses.

It would be difficult to come away with any conclusions about Sacred Heart's season other than the team had to weather several storms during the year.
