The 19 wins matched the highest total since 2009; The team finished the season ranked #7 in the Midwest Region— narrowly missing the NCAA Championship Tournament, and continuing to receive votes in the National poll The return of the Warrior Invitational was a success, with a clean sweep of all four matches—the team actually won BOTH pre-season events played in.
