The other two, Albright and Wagner, shared the division championship, but Hofstra was excluded from title contention. Conference rules required teams to play at least five games against opponents from the MAC's two "college" divisions, and Hofstra only played two. Three of its games were against MAC University Division members (Delaware, Gettysburg and Temple), but these did not count as conference games. The Flying Dutchmen played their home games at Hofstra College Stadium in Hempstead on Long Island, New York.
