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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
