In its second season under head coach Neil Wheelwright, the team compiled a 4–5 record. Alan Klumpp was the team captain.[1]

The Red Raiders scheduled 10 games,[2] but only played nine, as Holy Cross canceled its trip to Hamilton after a hepatitis outbreak on the Crusader team.[3]

The team played its home games at Andy Kerr Stadium in Hamilton, New York.
