Notes
- a The Boston Breakers forfeited the May 26th match against the Western New York Flash for fielding an ineligible player. The Boston Breakers won the match 3-2.[1] The WPSL credited the Western New York Flash with a 1-0 victory[2] with all previous goals of the match being nullified.[3] Before the June 18th ruling,[2] Breakers forward Katie Shoepfer was leading the league in scoring with 8 goals. However, her 3 goals at the May 26th match were all forfeited, as were goals by Flash players Adriana Martin and Angela Salem.
