They finished the season at 19–13, 8–6 for fourth place in the Ivy League, which afforded them a spot in the conference playoff for a bid in the NCAA tournament. However, they were defeated in the first round by Princeton. The Bulldogs were then invited to the WBI, and they went on to win the championship, the first Ivy League team to win a postseason tournament.
