After battling Minnesota-Morris to a 15-15 tie in the season opener on September, the Johnnies from Collegeville, Minnesota ended the season with 10 straight wins, culminating with a close 31-28 win over their counterparts from Maryland. St. John's finished the 1976 season at 10-0-1 overall in winning their program's first-ever NCAA Division III national championship.
