At the end their second season playing in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), the Kings finished second from the bottom in the Midwest conference with a record of 2-8-2. “It was a terrible year,” said Haselberger, who is also goalkeeper for the Kings. “We had players who viewed the team as more of a rec-team than a professional team.” Problems with attendance and work rate at practices and training plagued the team during the season, but with the season over the Kings are already taking steps to recruit new players and beginning to fix what didn’t work for next year.
