Cornell's record slipped the next season but the Big Red were able to make the conference championship and have a respectable finish to their year.
In Hannah's third season the Big Red posted a dismal record, winning only 6 games and failing to even make the conference tournament.
There was a small rebound in his senior season, where he was named as team captain, but Cornell was knocked out of the ECAC tournament in the quarterfinals.
Sacred Heart joined the MAAC as an associate member to fulfill the conference's obligation and the inexperience of the program showed their first year when the team went 7–23–1.
Sacred Heart slipped to 8th-place by 2009 and though the team was positioned for a rebound Hannah announced that he was stepping down a month before the 2009–10 season saying that he wanted to pursue other career options.
