They achieved four wins against teams representing Seattle, Portland, Denver, and Las Vegas. In their single loss of the tournament, they initially led the British Columbia team by 15 points at half time before being narrowly defeated. They were vindicated in finally achieving an official win against Las Vegas whom they played multiple times last season without clinching a direct victory.
The team featured several new players in its starting lineup with performance exceeding expectations. These developing players showed clear potential and talent that will make them dominant in US and world-wide wheelchair rugby in years to come.
