Overview: The Husson College Eagles (10-2 overall in 2017) not only won their third Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) championship in four years, finishing unbeaten in conference play at 7-0, they also made history in the process, stunning then-previously undefeated Springfield, 23-21, for their first-ever NCAA Division III playoff win. The Eagles season ended in the second round, losing to Delaware Valley, 37-15.

The only other ECFC team to advance to postseason play in 2017 was Maritime (N.Y.)-(9-2 overall). After finishing 6-1 in league contests last year, the Privateers fell to WPI, 17-3, in the New England Bowl Series.

On a sad note, Mount Ida College in Newton, Massachusetts closed its doors permanently in May, forcing its athletics department to shut down as well. On the football field last fall, the Mustangs finished what turned out to be their final season at 4-6 overall, 3-4 in the ECFC.

However, there is some happy news to report for the ECFC, as conference officials announced that Keystone College out of Marshfield, Massachusetts will join the league for the 2020 season.
