History
The Sharks lost their first game to the New Jersey Ironmen, 7-4, on October 27, 2007. After starting the season with 16 consecutive losses, on January 18, 2008, almost 3 months after their inaugural game, the Sharks won their first game in franchise history by defeating the California Cougars, 16-13.
After the MISL folded, the Sharks announced that they would be joining the National Indoor Soccer League for its inaugural season in 2008-09. Lease issues, however, resulted in the team pushing back its NISL entry until the 2009-10 season. Since April 2009, the Sharks have not made anymore team announcements and did not play in the 2009-10 Major Indoor Soccer League season.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
