- April 14: Lost 43-44 in overtime vs. Rio Grande Valley Dorados. Hawk missed a two-point conversion that would have taken it to a second OT after coming back from 24 points down at the start of the 4th quarter.
- April 21: Lost 40-62 at Louisville Fire. The Steeldogs failed to score in the 2nd period and had too much ground to make up.

- May 5: Won 63-60 vs. Louisville Fire. Another 5 TD game for Hawk. The 3rd quarter was key as the Dogs outscored the Fire 28-7 and went into the last period up 46-34 after trailing 27-18 at the half. This was the first of three Barber Dairy, "Faith Nights" with pre-game concerts by Christian artists, free Bibles for fans, and Steeldogs clad in Christian Throwback Jerseys during pre-game warmups and post-game festivities.
