Conversely, the team's defense was porous and the goaltending suffered; the Skyhawks allowed more than 40 shots against per contest, resulting in just under 6 goals against per game.

Dylan Meilun, the primary starter during the year, turned in a few decent performances but for the first 28 games the offense was too weak to take advantage.

Even in the few matches against lower-tier clubs, Stonehill was unable to find a way to earn a victory and the team seemed destined for a winless campaign.

Late January saw the team show some signs of life when the offense produced its best effort on the year.

Though they lost to Lindenwood in overtime, the next series between the two saw Stonehill finally get its first win against a Division I opponent (albeit one of the worst teams that year).
