Dinos finished the regular season as the first classified team with a 5–1 record. On the last game against the Raptors, Dinos missed the chance to become the first team ever to finish the regular season with a perfect record, when in the last play of the game, Raptors' quarterback Bruno Márquez scored a two point conversion to win the game 28–27.[3]
The Dinos were defeated in the semifinals by the Gallos Negros 20–27.[4]
