With the signing of Raúl Arias in June 2017, the most successful season in the club's history began. In the Apertura 2017, the team advanced to the final against former first division club CD Irapuato and (after a 0-1 away defeat and a 2-1 home win) won 5-3 on penalties and won the championship of the series A win.
In the Clausura 2018, the team was able to qualify for the finals in which they were defeated by the Loros de Colima . In the subsequent overall season finale, the two teams faced each other again. After a 2-0 win at Estadio Gregorio Tepa Gómez , the second leg was lost with the same result. Thus, a penalty shoot-out was required to determine the champion, which was won 4: 3. As a result, the team qualified for promotion to the second-class Ascenso MX in a sporty way . But because the club's stadium does not meet the requirements for a venue for the second Mexican soccer league , the club was denied promotion.
