This year, the team had 3 tournaments where they finished in the top half of the field, including a fifth place finish at the AHBA Falcon Classic. They wrapped up the year at the Club National tournament in Rockford, Illinois. Through qualifying, the team earned 1 point and was seeded into a matchplay bracket. The team lost their first match against a tough William Patterson University team. Following this they were placed in the elimination bracket. Their first match was against Ohio State University, who they were able to overcome in a tough match. The next match was against Arizona State University, who the Falcons beat as well, moving on to face a hot Wartburg College team.
The team put up a great fight, but ultimately fell short of moving on. Overall, this was a big year for the Falcons with a young team. It was highlighted by multiple great individual performances, and the team will look to build on this season moving into next year.
