The team moved to Pensacola and was renamed the Flyers. The team finished 10-18, sixth in the standings out of seven teams and did not qualify for the playoffs.

Midfielder John Molet is currently a member of the [[Wikipedia:Denver Dynamite|Denver Dynamite]] of the [[Wikipedia:Professional Arena Soccer League|Professional Arena Soccer League]]. Another former player, Oleg "Bal" Baleyev, is the head coach of the Jones County Junior College soccer team in Ellisville, Mississippi.
