Season recap
Bryan Brothers traded
On January 23, 2014, the Wild traded Bob and Mike Bryan to the San Diego Aviators in exchange for undisclosed financial consideration.[2]
Drafts
Since the Wild had the better record of the two conference championship match losers in 2013 at 9 wins and 5 losses, it had the third-to-last (sixth) selection in each round of the WTT Marquee Player Draft and moved up to fifth in the Roster Player Draft after the contraction of the Las Vegas Neon. The Wild passed on making any selections at the marquee player draft.[3] The Wild protected Aisam Qureshi, Alex Bogomolov, Jr. and Darija Jurak and drafted Anabel Medina Garrigues in the roster player draft.[4]
Free agent player signings
On July 16, 2014, the Wild signed Tim Smyczek as a substitute player.[5]
Early season success
The Wild opened its season with a road victory against the Boston Lobsters on July 6, 2014. It won the first four sets of the match to take a 20–9 lead. The Wild was led by Anabel Medina Garrigues who won the women's singles set and paired with Darija Jurak to take the women's doubles and with Aisam Qureshi to win the mixed doubles. Alex Bogomolov, Jr. got the Wid started with a set win in men's singles. The Lobsters won the final set of men's doubles to send the match to overtime. But Bogomolov and Qureshi won the first game of overtime to seal a 23–14 victory.[6]
The following night, the Wild visited the Springfield Lasers in a rematch of the 2013 Western Conference Championship Match. After the Wild won the first two sets to take a 10–4 lead, the Lasers cut the deficit at halftime to 10–9 by sweeping five straight games of mixed doubles. Medina Garrigues won the women's singles set, 5–2, to extend the Wild's lead to 15–11. But the Lasers took the fifth set of men's singles, 5–1, to tie the match at 16 and send it to a super tiebreaker. After struggling in the final set, Bogomolov was able to redeem himself by taking the tiebreaker, 7–5, to secure a 17–16 victory.[7]
The Wild met the three-time defending WTT Champion Washington Kastles in its home opener on July 8, 2014. The Wild won only one of the five sets in a 24–15 loss.[8]
The Wild won another thrilling road match on July 10, 2014, against the San Diego Aviators. Trailing 18–14 after four sets, Bogomolov and Qureshi took the men's doubles set, 5–1, to tie the match at 19 and send it to a super tiebreaker which they won, 7–6, on a match-deciding point to secure a 20–19 victory.[9]
The following night, the Wild returned home to meet the Philadelphia Freedoms. It found itself behind again, 18–16, after four sets. Once again, Bogomolov and Qureshi produced a dramatic comeback. They won the final set of men's doubles, 5–3, to tie the match at 21 and send it to a super tiebreaker. Bogomolov and Qureshi dominated the tiebreaker, 7–1, to give the Wild a 22–21 victory and a record of 4 wins and 1 loss.[10]
Mid-season struggle
After starting the season strong, the Wild lost four of its next five matches to drop its record to 5 wins and 5 losses. The run started with a road loss against the Springfield Lasers. Alex Bogomolov, Jr. won the fifth set of men's singles to tie the match at 18. But the Lasers won the super tiebreaker, 7–6, on a match-deciding point to earn a 19–18 victory.[11]
The struggling Wild hosted the Austin Aces on July 17, 2014, in the first-ever match between the in-state rivals after the Aces moved to Greater Austin from Orange County, California. The Wild had an 18–16 lead after four sets. The Aces won the final set of mixed doubles, 5–4, to force overtime and then won an overtime game to tie the match at 22. The Aces took the tiebreaker, 7–4, to earn a 23–22 victory.[12]
Late season collapse
After losing to the Aces at home the previous night, the Wild traveled to Cedar Park for a rematch on July 18, 2014. The Wild won four of the five sets in a dominant 23–12 victory. Anabel Medina Garrigues closed out the match with a set win in women's singles after earlier recording set wins in mixed doubles with Aisam Qureshi and in women's doubles with Darija Jurak. Alex Bogomolov, Jr. got the Wild started with a win in the opening set of men's singles.[13] The win gave the Wild 6 wins and 5 losses and control over its playoff destiny. At the point, the San Diego Aviators led the conference with 6 wins and 4 losses, the Springfield Lasers were third at 5 wins and 5 losses, ½ match behind the Wild, and the Aces had 4 wins and 6 losses.[14]
The following evening, the Wild lost a critical match at home to the Lasers to drop to third place in the standings. The Wild dropped all five sets in the 25–16 defeat.[15]
In what would prove to be the final home match for the franchise in Irving, the Wild dropped four of the five sets in falling to the Aces, 22–16.[16]
In the final match for the franchise as the Texas Wild, the team dropped four of the five sets in a 22–13 road loss to the Aviators.[17]
Despite closing the season with three straight defeats and finishing with a losing record at 6 wins and 8 losses, the Wild remained mathematically alive in the playoff race on the season's final day. It needed losses by both the Lasers and the Aces to create a three-way tie for second place in the Western Conference. For the Wild to win the standings tiebreaker, the Lasers had to win 17 or fewer games in their final match.[18] Once the Lasers took a 17–3 lead on their way to a 25–7 victory over the Boston Lobsters, the Wild's season came to an end.[19]
Move to California
On February 23, 2015, WTT announced that a new ownership group had taken control of the Wild and moved the team to Citrus Heights, California, renaming it the California Dream.[1]
