2007 saw the Quakes begin the year with a new coach and a new partnership: Khosroshahin left to take charge of the women's soccer team at
BYU Cougars in a semi-final game[5] which saw them reduced to 10 men and in which Franklin suffered a broken arm. Once again Ryan Shaw was the Quakes leading marksman, netting 10 goals, while standout right winger Sean Franklin
led the assist sheets with 7.
The Quakes had a slightly turbulent offseason, with
Devin Deldo was the team's top scorer, with 8 goals, while Sung-Hyun Kim contributed 5 assists.[9]
The team officially announced its withdrawal from competition on April 17, 2009,[10] citing the "current financial climate in the United States, low ticket sales income, and a general lack of adequate sponsorship and funding". The Quakes' franchise rights were then transferred to the Hollywood United Hitmen.
