Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the season was delayed to Spring 2021 and shortened to only 7 conference games. The Terriers finished regular season play at 5–1–1 and won the NEC Regular Season Championship. The NEC Tournament only featured #1 seed St. Francis Brooklyn and #2 seed LIU Sharks in a single-game championship, which St. Francis won in double overtime on penalty kicks.[1] The Terriers then advanced to the 2020 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament where they defeated the Milwaukee Panthers in the first round. The Terriers then lost to nationally ranked Indiana in overtime in the second round of the tournament.[2]
