The 2019 #HLMTEN Tournament title marked the seventh all-time for the Vikings, which is tied for the second highest individual school total in league history.

The Vikings posted a perfect 6-0 league record during regular season play, and entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed for the fifth time over the last 12 years. Cleveland State picked up a 4-0 victory over IUPUI in the semifinals, before earning a 4-1 win against UIC to clinch the championship.
