In the preliminary round for the region, it advanced past SV Post Telekom Neubrandenburg, SV Stahl Thale and Riesaer SV Blau-Weiß (both on penalties) to reach the national stages. There, it defeated BSV Brandenburg (again on penalties) before a 2–0 home loss to Dynamo Dresden in the second round. [1]
