In its second season under head coach Ralph Graham, the team compiled a 5–5 record (2–1 against conference opponents), finished second out of five teams in the MVC, and was outscored opponents by a total of 135 to 119.[1] The team played its home games at Veterans Field, now known as Cessna Stadium.
