The team began its inaugural campaign with a pre-season match against the Turlock Express on October 26. The Rosal lost 6–7. They lost their first PASL regular season match 7–12 to the Las Vegas Legends and lost again to Turlock before winning 5 of their next 7 matches to close out 2013. 2014, however, started with four consecutive losses. The team finished the regular season with a 7–9 record.[4] The team did not advance to the post-season but did perform well in the 2013–14 United States Open Cup for Arena Soccer, winning their way to the Quarterfinals before falling to the Las Vegas Legends.
