The Demon Deacons started the season well, winning their opening match versus Appalachian State. However, they only managed to tie their next game with Army. That tie would be the only blemish on their non-conference record. Their final record of 6–0–1 included wins over two Power 5 teams. Their ACC season started with a loss to a ranked Notre Dame, a tie, and a win against 22nd ranked Virginia. This earned them a spot in the rankings at number 25. After winning their next game, they moved up to number 17. However, they then hit a rough patch drawing three of the next four games and losing the other game to Pittsburgh. The loss saw them fall out of the rankings. They finished the season with two wins.
The Demon Deacons finished the season 10–2–5 overall and 4–2–4 in ACC ACC play to finish in sixth place. They qualified for the ACC Tournament, and lost in the First Round to Clemson. They were not invited to the NCAA Tournament.
The Demon Deacons finished the season 9–7–3 overall and 3–6–1 in ACC ACC play to finish in ninth place. They were not invited to the ACC Tournament, but did receive an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament. As an unseeded team in the Alabama Bracket, they had a First Round match at South Carolina, which they lost 2–0 to end their season.
