The Wildcats recorded a total of 59 wins spanning the 2015-17 seasons, which is the most successful three consecutive seasons in program history. UNH reached 20 wins in a single season for the first time in 2015-16 and matched that win total in ‘16-’17.

New Hampshire became only the third program in the Northeast to record 19+ wins in three straight seasons in 2016-17 with a program-tying 20 wins and a third consecutive home playoff game in Durham. The Wildcats won six straight games heading into the conference semifinals, which was the longest streak since Jan. 31-Feb. 18, 1995.

UNH earned a program record 20 wins in 2015-16 and won a first-ever postseason game in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament against Fairfield University. The Wildcats finished 20-13 overall, including 11-5 in America East play.

The 'Cats had their most successful season since the 1994-95 season in 2014-15, when they posted 19 wins to match the program record at the time, hosted their first playoff game in Lundholm Gymnasium in 20 years, and was selected to participate in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The 19-13 overall record was the first winning season since the historic 1994-95 squad went 19-9 overall.

Before UNH, Mohr worked six seasons as an assistant coach at Merrimack College with longtime head coach Bert Hammel. In his first year as an assistant at Merrimack, Mohr helped guide the Warriors to a 22-9 record, the Northeast-10 Regular Season and Tournament Championships and the NCAA Division II Northeast Regionals during the 1999-2000 season.
