Rankings from The Sports Network poll

In their tenth year under head coach Bob Benson, the Hoyas compiled a 5–6 record. Matt Fronczke, Ed Kuczma and Adam Rini were the team captains.[1]

The Hoyas were outscored 345 to 190. Their 2–5 conference record placed sixth out of eight in the Patriot League standings.[2]

After 23 years playing home games at Kehoe Field II, problems with the roof of Yates Field House prompted the Hoyas to find a new home for varsity football on their Washington, D.C., campus. Starting in 2002, Georgetown's football team moved into shared quarters with varsity soccer at Harbin Field.
