Comments
For this season, Juan and Morro left the team. Chendo didn't play the Olympics due to an injury, but returned for the leagu season. Roger still out, so the roster was formed by: Chendo (hopefully 19th season), Barbosa (15th), Jorge (13th), Eligio (7th), Mike (7th), Beto (6th), Zurdo (4th), and Chago (3rd). Cesar, from Santa Rosa, made his debut in the team, but left after the second league match. A couple of guys, Edgar, Zurdo's friend, and Carlos, tried out but didn't stay. In the middle of the season, Hilario, Chendo's friend, joined the team, and Martí'n Alanís, from our soccer team, also helped out at the end of the season.

Again, we had a tremendous Olympic tournament, beating everyone convincingly. However, Versa Rayos won the Gold Medal after beating us 4-3 in a very exciting match, so we had to settle for the Silver medal. In the league, we played at great level and made history by becoming the second team that finishes a regular season unbeaten. The other team that made this feat back in 1988 was, no surprise, Dínamo. We only had a tie against Pollo Loco, the current league champion. The playoffs were really exciting. First, we had the rematch with Pollo Loco, the current champ who beat us in the past league final. This time, we prevailed with a dramatic 5-3 victori scoring two goals in the last two minutes. Then, another rematch for the final, and again, in a heck of a thriller, we grabbed the title with a 3-2 victory that clinched us a place in history as the only team in the entire UDA history of finishing as unbeaten Champion. It was truly awesome.

The following olympics, we lost the semi-final to Versa Rayos playing with only four men in the court in a nail-bitter 4-5.
