They are currently led by 8th year head coach Joe Gallo and play their home games in Hammel Court at the Merrimack Athletics Complex.
In their first year at the Division 1 level, the 2019–20 team went 14–4 in NEC play and won the regular season title, despite in the preseason being picked by the media to finish 11th out of 11 teams.
