In the 2008 Fall Season, the team finished the regular season at 4-7, earning them the 3rd seed in the playoffs. They eventually defeated 2nd-seeded New Hampshire Technical Institute, 4-0 in the first round. They went on to defeat the defending champions, Southern Main Community College, 10-7.

Student Radio Station

WVTC, Vermont Tech's 300-watt radio station, was forced to suspend on operations in fall 2007 when their FCC license expired due to neglect. WVTC applied for, and was granted, Special Temporary Authority in October 2008 to operate while the license renewal process continues. The station also continues to broadcast online at http://www.wvtc.net.
