Driscoll's only other win of the year came at the second day of the Cycle-Smart International in Northampton, Massachusetts. Despite only two victories on the season, Driscoll wore the leaders jersey for the U.S. Gran Prix of cyclocross following the series' fifth stop, the Mercer Cup, and finished up the series in third place overall. Driscoll consistently performed well in the North American Cyclocross Trophy as well, finishing up third overall in the series standings.

Driscoll's first year with Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com brought a wealth of good results, including the overall victory in the Verge New England Cyclocross Championship Series, winning seven of the series' nine races. On the road, Driscoll also won the third stage of the American Eagle Tour of Pennsylvania.
