Historic WPSL Season Comes To A Close In Oklahoma
Historic WPSL Season Comes To A Close In Oklahoma FC Pride’s thrilling run to the Final Four in the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) concluded with a 0-2 loss to the defending National Champions, Charlotte Eagles, in the National Semi-Final held in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

They triumphed over the number 1 seed, Sioux Falls City FC, in a nail-biting match that ended 3-3, decided by penalty kicks. Kayla Budish was the star of the game, scoring a remarkable hat trick, including a header with just 5 seconds left in regulation to force extra time. This was followed by a 2-1 victory in the National Elite Eight against KC Union, with Tatum Coleman scoring the winning goal. Budish reflected on her season, saying, “Playing in the WPSL this season has definitely helped me prepare for the upcoming college season.
