Phoenix triumphant throughout the whole season in the Women´s
Phoenix´s women´s team´s hard work paid off this season as they secured all titles without losing a single match during the whole season.

In the Cup final Phoenix defeated SZPK Komarom with a 7-3 victory.
In the Women´s league, there are no playoffs due to the lower number of teams. That´s why the teams played three tournaments where all teams played against each other. At the end of the season, Phoenix led the scoreboard with their perfect season. The only team that could challenge them during the season were the former champions Neumann Pillangok, but Phoenix were always stronger at the end. In 15 matches, the efficient Phoenix scored 104 goals and conceded only 32.
