Last year the Knights notched 13 wins, one shy of the school record, and finished 13-5 overall. They crafted an impressive run of nine consecutive wins late in the season and finished fifth in the conference, narrowly missing the MIAC playoffs.

In 2006 the team finished 12-5-3 overall, the #2 most improved team in the nation (NCAA) and ranked ninth in the central region (NSCAA/Adidas).

The Knights also advanced to the MIAC Playoff title match in their first conference tournament appearance since the format changed to a four-team, single elimination format. The team narrowly missed an NCAA tournament bid on a penalty kick loss to MIAC champion Concordia-Moorhead. In addition, the Knights ended the season on a nine-game unbeaten streak, which included two wins over Macalester, a team that had not lost a match in more than two years or a MIAC match in more than three years.
