New Hampshire secured their first-ever America East conference tournament title in 2018 as they routed No. 5 UMBC 5–0 in the championship. This win kicked off a string of three consecutive America East tournament championships in the 2019 and 2020 seasons. In 2019, the Wildcats came in as the No. 1 seed and got by No. 3 Hartford 1–0 to clinch the title. In the 2020 season (partially played in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), UNH again came into the tournament as the No. 1 seed and held off No. 2 seeded Vermont 2–0 to complete the three-peat. After a loss to Vermont in 2021, the Wildcats captured their fourth America East championship in five years after defeating Albany 2–0 in the 2022 championship game.
