Schedule and results

[edit]

The Knights game against Drexel scheduled for November 12, 2021 was postponed due to their bus breaking down and being unable to make it to the game.[2]

NEC COVID-19 policy provided that if a team could not play a conference game due to COVID-19 issues within its program, the game would be declared a forfeit and the other team would receive a conference win. However, wins related to COVID-19 do not count pursuant to NCAA policy.[3]
