Their 15-straight wins to start the season is the program record. 
Vicky Sunohara led the team in goals (51) and points (78) with 8 game-winners and 10 hat tricks. Fiona Rice led the team in assists with 42. Kelly Dyer had the bulk of starts in net, recording a .928 SV% and a 2.11 GAA with 5 shutouts, while her backup Sue Guay recorded a .955 SV%, 0.82 GAA, and 3 shutouts.

Similarly to the previous year's tournament, powerhouses Northeastern (18-2-0) and Harvard (13-6-1) shutout BC and BU in the opening round. When they met in the finals, the Northeastern Huskies shutout the hosting Harvard Crimson, blazing past them with 9 unanswered goals. Sunohara would record 4 goals and an assist in the championship round, being named tournament MVP. 
== ECAC Tournament ==
Having finished with the best record in the ECAC regular season, Northeastern was set to face off against the 4-seed UNH Wildcats in the semifinals. The 16-5-0 Wildcats were the only team to beat Northeastern by more than two goals during the regular season, splitting the season series two-games-to-one in Northeastern's favor. The rematch would go Northeastern's way, as the Huskies topped the Wildcats 5-1.
In the finals, the Huskies met the 2-seed Providence Friars (19-4-0). In the regular season, Providence was the only team to beat Northeastern twice, winning the season series two-games-to-one (including a 3-1 victory in the last game of the regular season). The Huskies would come out on top, clinching their second-consecutive ECAC Championship with a 4-2 victory at Matthews Arena.
