    In their only NCAA Tournament appearance to-date in 2010, after winning their first NEFC title, the Gulls were sent to 17th-ranked SUNY Cortland and were ousted 49-35.  The past two seasons have ended in two ECAC North Atlantic bowl game victories, but the Gulls return to the national tournament with the hopes of showcasing their balanced offensive attack, their veteran defense, and strong special teams play.
