Road to the final

Tampa Bay Sun

Tampa Bay Sun FC finished second in the standings in the USL Super League's inaugural season. They were led by USL Super League All-League honorees Sydny Nasello, Natasha Flint, Vivianne Bessette, and Cecilie Fløe. [3] In the playoff semifinals, goals scored by Flint and Carlee Giammona led the Sun to a 2–1 win over the third seed Dallas Trinity FC. [4]

Fort Lauderdale United

Fort Lauderdale United FC finished fourth in the inaugural standings. They were led by All-League honorees Addie McCain, Jasmine Hamid, and Laveni Vaka, but the latter suffered a season-ending knee injury before the playoffs. [3] In the playoff semifinals, two goals from midseason signing Kiara Locklear led United to a 2–1 win over the Players' Shield champion Carolina Ascent FC, with an extra-time game winner that may have been wrongly ruled onside.
