Despite only a few days of rest, Derek Gebhard once again led the Armada FC to a thrilling finish at Hodges Stadium in Week 17 against Puerto Rico FC. After an unlucky break put the club down a goal in the first half, the group rallied together in the second half to put together several quality chances. With the match in the final moments of stoppage time, Derek Gebhard put the Armada FC on the board to tie the match from a sensational cross from Charles Eloundou.

Heading into the final match of the season against Indy Eleven, Gebhard continued to lead the way offensively for the Armada FC. In the 44th minute, Gebhard had a near goal after a cross from midfielder Jack Blake, but the goallkeeper made the save just in time to keep the Armada FC off the score sheet.

Head Coach Mark Lowry has noticed his young forward's improving play, "[Gebhard] is getting better every game. When he has that speed, and when he starts to learn how to use it, which he is, it is a wonderful thing to watch and a massive threat for us."​
