The Keydets earned a 3.15 GPA on the women’s side and a 3.08 GPA on the men’s side.
The 2025-26 season was a special one as the regular season featured a 4-3 record for the men, earning a winning record in back-to-back seasons, while the women earned a Division I victory in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2014-16. In total, the men broke 10 team records and had 35 top-10 all-time performances. The women shattered 20 team records and had 33 all-time top-10 marks. The Keydets also had a pair earn America East weekly awards.
