Notes
[edit]- ^ The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926;[2] before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
- ^ This was Cowell's 11th year and 10th season as head coach, as the school did not field a varsity team in 1918 due to World War I.
- ^ Memorial Field remains in use by the New Hampshire women's field hockey team.[5]
