Playing at John Elway Stadium on the campus of Granada Hills Charter High School, head coach Ali Khosroshahin's team made an inauspicious start, tying 1–1 with Los Angeles Storm in their opening game,[1] and then suffering a devastating 4–3 home defeat to Orange County Blue Star, having led 3–0 with 8 minutes to go.

The 2007 Quakes were an improvement over their still-successful 2006 predecessors: they hammered Los Angeles Storm 5–0 on the opening day of the season,[5] and despite losses to both Ventura County Fusion and Fresno Fuego on the road, managed to recover their form.

The Quakes had a slightly turbulent offseason, with Sean Franklin, Daniel Paladini and Mike Zaher all departing for Major League Soccer, and team relocating from Granada Hills to a new stadium in nearby Calabasas.

The final game of the regular season was a winner-take-all matchup against Fresno Fuego, which the Quakes won 2–1 with goals by Devin Deldo and Sung-Hyun Kim,[9] giving the team its first silverware in franchise history.

[11] The team officially announced its withdrawal from competition on April 17, 2009,[12] citing the "current financial climate in the United States, low ticket sales income, and a general lack of adequate sponsorship and funding".
