Cy Wentworth, team captain for a second consecutive season, was an inaugural member of the UNH Wildcats Hall of Fame in 1982.[14]

Notes

  1. The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926;[2] before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
  2. This was Cowell's 10th year and 9th season as head coach, as the school did not field a varsity team in 1918 due to World War I.
  3. Memorial Field remains in use by the New Hampshire women's field hockey team.[3]
