As the top ranked team in the Great Lakes region, the Lakers finished the 2003 regular season at 15-3-0. Mercyhurst received a bye to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, only to tie Findlay 0-0. The Oilers eventually won in a penalty kick shootout.

Mercyhurst had another outstanding season in 2004, finishing with a 14-3-2 overall record and a 3-1-1 slate and a first place finish in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC). The Lakers finished 8-8-4 in 2005 with only two seniors on the squad, but went 6-1-1 down the stretch.

In 2006, Mercyhurst returned to dominance, posting a 17-4-0 mark and winning the GLIAC title by 3 1/2 games with a 9-1-0 conference campaign. The GLIAC Championship was the 10th in 11 years. The Lakers also advanced to the NCAA Regional Tournament, losing to SIU Edwardsville in the opening round. The nine-win improvement was the largest single-season turnaround in program history.
