On a warm April night, a charter bus of weary Launch staffers and players made their way back to Boca Raton. The team’s first game of the season was held in DeLand, Florida as the Launch awaited the completion of FAU Stadium renovations. In that game, the visiting Boston Cannons stole an overtime victory and the home team was sent home – hungrier than ever.
