New England College hosts the UMASS Minutemen on alumni weekend in Henniker, NH.

In their first season in the D1AA ECRC, NEC stands in second place (in point differentials) with a respectable 2-1 record. 

Of the ECRC teams with winning records after week 3, NEC has had the hardest schedule to date, only playing one team without a winning record at the time of the match.
