A disappointing showing all arouind from the Dallas based 91s. Not one of the 6 sides were able to advance out of group play. #4 nationally ranked Andromeda didn't give up any goals, but were only able to muster a single win from the good defense.

Another age that was completely shutout this year as it was pretty much a poor showing all around. The Dallas Texans flopped completely as they were only able to claim 1 win. Meanwhile, Solar Red couldn't even win a match. DFW Tejanos claimed two draws.

The 94s did much better than their 93 counterparts as 3 teams were able to advance to quarterfinal play. Solar, Dallas Texans and Solar Red all cruised through group play while Longhorns were unable to win a match. TFC won a pair but lost their group on goal differential. Dallas Texans and Solar will face off in a massive quarterfinal showdown while Solar Red will play Italia of Southern California.
