Additionally, she took the Hawks to the NCAA Tournament and went toe-to-toe with Stevenson in an attempt to avenge their early NCAA exit from a year ago. Despite a hard fought battle, the Purple and Gold fell in a five-set thriller. Broccoli and her team concluded the year with a 24-9 record with an 8-0 conference mark. As she did in her first two seasons, her squad did not drop a single set to any CUNYAC foe which includes the conference post-season tournament.

Their 27 wins was the most since matching the 2008 team. Additionally, they went a perfect 8-0 for the second straight season. They dropped just a single set to CUNYAC opponents all year and after snagging the top seed in the conference tournament, did not drop a single set as they claimed their fourth consecutive title; Broccoli's second. Additionally, they earned their fourth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament where their run ended early to Stevenson.
