The Bulldogs represented Ferris State University, played their home games at Ewigleben Arena and were coached by Bob Daniels in his 31st season.

Noah Giesbrecht, who had joined the club in the middle of the previous year, established himself as the team's starting goaltender.

After a surprising win over Michigan State won just three more times over the next fifteen games and slid down to 6th in the standings.

A goal from Nick Nardecchia put the team on the cusp of a conference semifinal appearance and Giesbrecht was again called upon to save the day.

The sophomore held the Falcons scoreless until just over a minute remained in regulation but the team had just enough offense to send the game into extra time.
