The Purple Eagles represented Niagara University and were coached by Jason Lammers, in his 5th season.

However, the Eagles did show flashes of strong play and posted one of the program's best wins when they defeated #10 Notre Dame after Christmas.

In the final week of the regular season, the team managed to take down conference champion American International in a shootout.

When they entered the postseason they were set against Bentley, who had gone winless in their previous eleven games.

Unfortunately, Niagara dropped both games at home and saw their season come to an abrupt end.
