Notes
- This was Cowell's 16th year and 15th season as head coach, as the school did not field a team in 1918 due to World War I.
- Memorial Field remains in use by the New Hampshire women's field hockey team.[2]
- This was a different venue than the like-named Nickerson Field in Boston, used by BU in later years.
- Lowell Textile is now University of Massachusetts Lowell.
