Postseason

[edit]

NCAA Tournament

[edit]

New Hampshire has appeared in eight NCAA Tournaments. They first appeared in the tournament in 1994. They didn't return to the national stage until 2017, achieving automatic qualification following their America East Conference tournament win. Their deepest runs into the tournament were in 2017, 2021, and 2023 when they reached the Third Round before losing to Indiana, Oregon State, and Clemson respectively.[7]

America East Conference Tournament[8]

[edit]

New Hampshire secured their first-ever America East conference tournament title in 2018 as they routed No. 5 UMBC 5–0 in the championship. This win kicked off a string of three consecutive America East tournament championships in the 2019 and 2020 seasons. In 2019, the Wildcats came in as the No. 1 seed and got by No. 3 Hartford 1–0 to clinch the title. In the 2020 season (partially played in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), UNH again came into the tournament as the No. 1 seed and held off No. 2 seeded Vermont 2–0 to complete the three-peat. After a loss to Vermont in 2021, the Wildcats captured their fourth America East championship in five years after defeating Albany 2–0 in the 2022 championship game.
