Notes

  1. ^ This was Cowell's 14th year and 13th season as head coach, as the school did not field a team in 1918 due to World War I.
  2. ^ Memorial Field remains in use by the New Hampshire women's field hockey team.[2]
  3. ^ This was BU's inaugural game at their first Nickerson Field,[3] a different venue than the like-named Nickerson Field in Boston, used by BU in later years.
