Freshman member Brad Ellis commented on the squad's youth stating, We all realize that it could be a tough year. However, we are rebuilding. This is our chance to gain experience without being pressured because nobody expects us to do well. But just wait a couple of years and we'll be tough. Ellis and Sophomore Rob Spencer were players Marshall expected to do well. The team members worked out l approximately three and one half hours a day, and up to 20 hours a week. Practices were held at Bear Creek Country Club on Monday and Tuesday, with the remainder of days spread among Las Colinas and the Grand Prairie Municipal Course. The fall season began on September 21 with the Sam Houston Invitational in Grand Prairie. After 72 holes, Spencer led MacArthur with 27 pars.

Before gaining the opportunity to capture the trophy, the squad defeated numerous local teams, won the Metro Tournament at Southwest Park in Irving, and the Southwest Regionals held in neighboring Duncanville. In New Mexico teams from Tennessee, Washington, Nebraska, Texas, and California tried to defeat the fast hustling Lil' Sports, but were unable to do so. The final game in the national tournament went into nine extra innings but the Texans came out on top as Hertenberger scored the winning run. Following their victory, the team accredited much of its success to the large amount of support they received from the people of Irving. In regard to the entourage they developed during the course of the season, Huitt elaborated, It was really great to know there were people watching you who really cared and wanted you to do good, Before making the trip, the girls had to Above Left: Sponsor Annie Hall, Ronda Sandifor, and Jennifer Heaton converse during the Art Club Breakfast at the International House of Pancakes.
