After stringing together 3 convincing wins versus Montgomery Soccer Club, DC Stoddard United and FC Frederick to qualify for the championship game; the Palominos faced the Baltimore Bays and led the game in the closing minutes.

But the Baltimore Bays tied the game at 2-2 in the closing seconds of the championship game and the game went to penalty kicks (PKs) where the Palominos won in dramatic fashion with three successful PKs and two outstanding saves by the Palomino’s keeper which bested the Baltimore’s efforts.
