Following the "Never Better" squad of 1976-77, this team was dubbed "Best Yet", and proved that nickname to be true by compiling a program best 16-1 record under head coach Jack Carey.  The team established numerous program records, several of which held up until the program was disbanded in 1989. The team avenged its only loss of the season by defeating the New York Maritime Academy on the way to a third place finish at the Metropolitan Conference Division II Championships.
