The team won first place in the New England Championship and in the Northeast-10 Conference Championship. Led by Coach Vern Cox, they had a record of 14-0-0. Vernon W. Cox graduated from Springfield College in 1944 and immediately joined the Army Air Corp, where he fought in the Pacific Theater. In 1947, he joined the Springfield College faculty as a physical education instructor, where he coached soccer, basketball, tennis, lacrosse, cross country and track and field. In 1977, Cox became the college’s alumni director. He passed away in 1991, after forty-four years of serving the college community.
