They travelled to Bethany, West Virginia in April to compete in the Can-Am Boys Soccer Tournament. The team was victorious in their first three games and advanced to the finals. That game resulted in a second place finish. This trip resulted in an excellent team building experience.
In preparation for their regular season, the team practiced four days a week, resulting in a 6 and 1 winning record. St Mike's won the zone title, defeating E.L. Crossley and advanced to the finals.
