 The year began well with a 3–2 win over the Los Angeles Legends thanks to a pair of goals from Mauricio Harrie, but quickly turned sour as the Antelope Valley side failed to win any of their next eight games.They let a four-goal lead slip in their agonizing 5–5 tie with Fresno Fuego at the end of May, and suffered several heavy defeats, including a 3–0 loss away to the Hollywood United Hitmen and 6–1 thrashing at the hands of Los Angeles Legends, who clearly wanted revenge for their defeat earlier in the season.However, sometime in the middle of June, something happened to the Lancaster team, and they began 'rattling' off win after win.
