Led by AJ Franklins's four goals, One Way defeated the Laguna Beach Breakers 15-2 in its opening game. Steven Tedsen's three goals led One Way to a 13-5 victory over San Diego Shores in its second game to qualify for the semifinals.

In the semifinals, One Way Polo dropped a close decision to eventual tournament champion Long Beach.

Despite nine saves from goalie Tommy Grall, Long Beach squeezed out a 6-5 victory in the semis.
