While LIU was hoping to take the next step in their fourth season, the team was still largely unable to move forward.

Long Island's start to the season looked promising as they played two close games against ranked opponents (both losses) and produced some good offense against Stonehill, that pattern didn't change throughout the year.

The Sharks got a solid effort from starter Brandon Perrone throughout the season but it wasn't quite good enough to overcome decent teams.

Similarly, the offense produced consistently; Josh Zary became the first LIU player to hit 20 goals for a season and the Sharks had five skaters with at least 30 points.

The season series with the Skyhawks enabled LIU to set a program record with 16 wins but still left them sitting near the bottom of the PairWise rankings.
