The team consistently stayed in the top ten, delivered several impressive runs, but fell just short of the playoff zone, finishing in 7th place. Ragnar Ache emerged as the standout player, netting 18 goals. In the spring, Torsten Lieberknecht took over as head coach, bringing stability and a clear game plan to the team.
