The 2007 Leopards, under the direction of head coach Dennis Bohn, advanced to the Patriot League championship game and finished the season with an overall record of 10-4-6. The team ended the season ranked fourth in the NSCAA's Mid-Atlantic Region. In addition, Lafayette finished the year ranked seventh in the nation in team defense with a 0.56 goals against average thanks in large part to the team's 10 shutouts.
