Holy Family finished the regular season with a 6-10-1 overall record and 6-6-0 in conference play to claim the seventh seed.  The Tigers struggled down the stretch, but came up with a key 5-2 victory at Goldey-Beacom College in the regular season to finale to clinch a postseason berth.  It marks the second straight season under the guidance of Georg Montag that the Tigers have advance to postseason play.
