Somerset, NJ - The Northeast Conference hosted its usual championships and doled out the annual awards, but there was hardly anything ho hum about the 2012 fall season, headlined by the Seahawk football team posting the league's first-ever NCAA FCS victory, a 31-20 triumph over Colgate on Nov. 24. 

The first three-plus months of the 2012-13 academic year were home to numerous new ground-breaking moments for the Northeast Conference and its 12 Division I members.

The league continued to add to its ambitious list of new initiatives, and put a number of projects in motion. There were also numerous on-field victories that will forever be etched into league folklore and a stream of postseason honors, both athletic and academic, followed.

Front Row, #NECPride, FCS Playoff Success, College Cup Sweet 16 and #HelloBrooklyn are only some of the terms that flew around the Northeast Conference this fall.
