Remembered as one of the best teams in Wilkes' storied history, the 2006 squad finished a perfect 10-0 during the regular season capturing the MAC Championship while earning an automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament. There the Colonels captured the program's first NCAA victory and finished 11-1 overall, the most wins in a single season.

The squad entered the season ranked 9^th in the Street and Smith Division III pre-season top-25 poll and finished ranked 12^th in the final poll.
