Rankings from AP Poll

In their 11th year under head coach Howard "Howdy" Myers Jr., the Flying Dutchmen compiled a 7–1–1 record, and outscored opponents 158 to 78. Bob DeNeef and Lou DiBlasi were the team captains.

Hofstra was one of three teams in the MAC Northern Division that finished the year undefeated in conference play. The other two, Albright and Wagner, shared the division championship, but Hofstra was excluded from title contention. Conference rules required teams to play at least five games against opponents from the MAC's two "college" divisions, and Hofstra only played two. Three of its games were against MAC University Division members (Delaware, Gettysburg and Temple), but these did not count as conference games.

The Flying Dutchmen played their home games at Hofstra College Stadium in Hempstead on Long Island, New York.
