During the season, the Eagles achieved a historic 2-1 victory over the No. 1-ranked Rollins College. This win represented the program’s first victory against a top-ranked team since 2008 and their first ranked win since joining the conference as a full member in 2017. The match was noted for its physicality and a 90-minute lightning delay during halftime.
