"It was a big week for Rocket League beating the #2 Indiana Tech on Friday." Said assistant coach Mason Fish. "The team shutout IIT for two straight games. While they couldn't finish the perfect sweep (shutting out an opponent in all games), they looked dominant throughout the whole series. None the less, the Pilots remain the #1 seed in the NECC. On Saturday, the Pilots pulled out the first reverse sweep in Bethel RL history and took down Manchester. Over the past 3 years, all four Rocket League games against Manchester have gone to game five, and with this win, the Pilots remain in the hunt for GLEC playoffs."

The Pilots were reverse swept in a tough loss against Defiance but bounced back in a dominant win against Hocking. The team is still working out the incorporation of Sophomore Ian Hulett into the roster, but coach Mason Fish has a lot of confidence we'll be able to resolve in these coming playoffs."
