Middlebury became the first team in NESCAC history to finish with a 9-0 record, as the Panthers captured their fourth NESCAC Championship. The 2019 Middlebury squad joins the 8-0 teams of 1936 and 1972 as the only undefeated teams in school history.[2] For his success in the 2019 NCAA Division III football season Ritter was awarded the 2019 D3football.com All-East Region Coach of the Year and 2019 Gridiron Club of Greater Boston - New England Division III Coach of the Year.[3][4]

The 2019 undefeated campaign put Ritter in elite coaching company with only two other NCAA teams completing the 2019 season without a loss. They were North Dakota State University and Louisiana State University.[5][6][7][8]
