Head coach Chris Yeager and the Hornets are grateful for your support of the team!

In 2026, the Hornets enjoyed a 19-2-2 overall record and posted the second-highest win total in program history, making their fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. Coach Yeager’s squad captured its 20th ODAC title with a 2-1 comeback victory over Washington & Lee before advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16. Senior Benjamin Velasquez helped the team secure 13 shutouts, earning ODAC Defensive Player of the Year honors. Between the pipes, Thomas Viscuso maintained a 0.56 goals-against average, tying the second-best single-season mark in program history. Matthew Viscuso earned the ODAC Rookie of the Year award, while Reid Rouse was selected as the ODAC/Va. Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete of the Year for his work in the classroom. In addition, three Hornets claimed All-American honors, representing the highest total for a single season in program history.
