Tampa Bay Sun wins USL Women’s Super League after dramatic victory

Cecilie Fløe became Tampa Bay Sun’s hero after scoring the winning goal in the 100th minute — leading her team to the inaugural USL Women’s Super League championship title with a 1-0 victory over Fort Lauderdale United.

The historic goal came through excellent teamwork with Sydny Nasello who managed to break through the defense line — providing a perfect pass to Fløe who ran between two opposing defenders.

Tampa Bay Sun (13-6-10) advanced to the final after defeating Dallas Trinity 2-1, while Fort Lauderdale United (11-9-9) shocked regular season champions North Carolina Ascent with a 2-1 victory in the semifinals.

The USL Women’s Super League, which just completed its inaugural season, stands at the top tier of professional women’s soccer in the United States — alongside the National Women’s Soccer League. This eight-team competition follows a fall-to-spring season system, and will welcome one new team next season.
