The team won 3-0 against the Manassas Falcons. Michael Bear, Smith and Michael Kramer scored goals on assists by Bear and Glenn Grunewald. Patterson and fellow goalkeeper Chris McCorkle shared the shutout.
Smith scored again on a penalty kick in the last minute of play as the team outlasted the Spotsylvania Hotspurs 3-2.
