[5] The Barons finished with a 6–4–6 record, which was good enough for second place in the Northeast Division, and they missed the playoffs for the first time since moving to the PDL.

Their home record continued with a 6–1–1 mark and the Barons were selected by the league to host the Eastern Conference playoffs for the second time in three years.

In addition to a pair of professional team upsets in the U.S. Open Cup and a date with D.C. United of Major League Soccer, Ocean City had a great regular season and a historic postseason run.

After a 9–4–3 record earned them a third-place finish in the competitive Northeast Division and a spot in the postseason, they made history with two playoff wins before advancing to the PDL quarterfinals.

The Barons eliminated the Long Island Rough Riders, the second best defensive team in the PDL, 2–0 in the opening round, giving OC their first playoff win since 2004.

In the next round, the Men In Red handed the undefeated Ottawa Fury their first loss of the season with a 2–1 overtime win on a 98th-minute goal by Tyler Bellamy.

By and large, the team featured a very young, inexperienced roster and failed to qualify for the post-season and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

The Nor’easters put together a strong, deep roster that saw them go on a 13–3–0 regular season record which resulted in them winning the Mid-Atlantic Division and qualifying for the 2013 U.S. Open Cup.

The Nor’easters recorded one of their biggest attendances of 1,175 for their final home game as the supporters gave their appreciation for the exciting and successful season.

Earlier in the season, they added to their U.S. Open Cup resume by upsetting the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the United Soccer League to earn their fifth win over a pro team.

In the following round, they nearly knocked off the Philadelphia Union but the Major League Soccer side scored a game-winning goal in second half stoppage time.

They defeated three division champions en route to the PDL Semifinals with wins over the GPS Portland Phoenix, Charlotte Eagles, and their long-time rival Reading United AC in the conference final.

In 2017, former Ocean City defender John Thompson took over as head coach as Tim Oswald shifted to a front office role as Sporting Director.

Alan McCann, who had won the last two USL-2 Coach of the Year awards while in charge of rival Reading United AC, was hired to lead the Nor'easters in the club's 24th season [1].

McCann led the Nor'easters back to the playoffs but the Storm ultimately fell short, dropping a narrow 1–0 decision to West Chester United in the Eastern Conference semifinals [2].

Schafer broke the club record with a 0.55 goals against average (with five shutouts) and became the first Ocean City goalkeeper to be named the USL League Two Golden Glove winner.

The Nor'easters qualified for the playoffs for the second year in a row, but they would fall to the Long Island Rough Riders in the opening round, 3–1.

Perrella made his Nor'easters head coaching debut in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup with a 3–1 road win over rival West Chester United in Round 1.

The playoff run would come to an end in the Eastern Conference Final (National Quarterfinals) with a 4–2 extra time loss to Lionsbridge FC.

In 2004, the year of their undefeated league season in the PDL, they began the tournament with a 5–0 thrashing of the USASA's Allied SC, and once again met an A-League team in the second round.

They began as they had the previous two tournament appearances with a 3–0 shutout win over historic USASA club, New York Greek-American Atlas.

Ruben Mingo, Tony Donatelli, Chris Williams and Steven Wacker all scored in one of the second round's biggest upsets.

[5] After missing out on the tournament in 2006, the Barons returned to the Cup in 2007 and began at home with a 1–0 upset over Crystal Palace Baltimore of the USL Second Division.

But the biggest highlight was the fact that Ocean City faced off with a club from Major League Soccer for the first time in franchise history.

The Barons’ run in the tournament began with a shocking 3–0 home upset of Crystal Palace Baltimore of the USL Second Division.

[7] In 2017, the Nor'easters hosted Junior Lone Star FC of the Philadelphia Premier Soccer League in the opening round.

After a 3–1 win, they advance to Round 2 where they hosted the Harrisburg City Islanders in a rematch of the 2007 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

In 2018, the Nor'easters had to play all of their games on the road, starting with a 3–0 win in Ypsilanti, Michigan over NPSL power AFC Ann Arbor.

Next, they traveled to North Carolina to take on the Charlotte Independence of the USL and they won the game 3–1 to earn their sixth win over a professional team in the competition.

As a USL League Two team in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, Ocean City have six wins with five of them being upsets of professional clubs.
