In the postseason they failed to successfully defend their CSL Championship after losing to York Region Shooters in the semifinals.[2]
Summary
The White Eagles entered the 2017 CSL season as the defending champions with Uroš Stamatović returning to manage the squad for the season. Serbia continued its strategy of recruiting seasoned imports from Europe, while also rejuvenating the roster with younger graduates from their youth system. The new additions included Luka Milidragović, Dušan Kovačević, and Ivan Nikolic.[3] They also continued fielding their reserve team in the Second Division.
While their on field performance continued to prosper as the White Eagles began the season with a 12-game undefeated streak.[4][5] Their only defeat occurred in an away match, while at home they remained undefeated. Serbia concluded the regular season as runners up and was ranked in the top three for the best offensive and defensive records. In the preliminary round of the postseason they defeated SC Waterloo by a score of 5-3.[6] Unfortunately they failed to defend the CSL Championship after being eliminated by the York Region Shooters.[7]
