The Sharks represented Long Island University and were coached by Brett Riley, in his 3rd season.

LIU entered the season hoping to continue its upward trend, however, they would first have to contend with a major obstacle.

His brightest performance came against Ohio State by making 32 saves in the program's first win over a ranked team.

After changing to goaltender rotation, the Sharks started winning more, however they also began playing some of the worst teams in college hockey.

The Sharks were able to post a win over tournament hopeful Alaska, but the team ended up stumbling to the finish with a 2–7 skid.
