The team, consisting of juniors Daniel Flyer, Alex Bloom, Nicole Lee, Freshman Daniel Liu, and coached by English Teacher Scott Segal, advanced with a winning record through the group stage to qualify for the playoffs. They then obliterated their opponents in the quarterfinals until their run finally came to an end with a defeat in the semifinals at the hands of the eventual champions, Charlottesville High School. This positioned the team in fourth place in the East Coast Nationals in the Junior Varsity division.
