Lost Finals to New Britain, 3-2
The Silverworkers started on a hot streak, winning their first 4 games and finishing in a tie for the first place title. In a best-of-three playoff, they swept Stamford to claim the first have title.
After winning their first two in the second half, they hit a three-game skid and lost 4 of 5 to fall out of contention. They would finish 4-4, but their first record title got them into the President's Cup finals against second-half champion New Britain. They lost the first game of the best-of-five series in New Britain, 42-21, but stormed back to win the next two to get within a win of the Cup. Seemed like an easy shot, given they hosted the remaining games, but lost them both to lose the crown to New Britain.
