FC Indiana (Region II Champion): From Goshen, IN, FC is ranked the No. 4 women’s club team in the world by WomensWorldFootball.com. Indiana looks like the team to beat heading in, as they defeated perennial powerhouse River Cities FC 5-0 in a stunning upset on June 16^th.

In the three matches leading to the Final Four, FC outscored their opponents 21-1.

They became the only North American women's team ever to win league and cup double, by winning the Women’s Premier Soccer League Championship and the US Open Cup Title back in 2005.

Dallas Roma FC (Region IV Champion): From Dallas, TX, the defending Open Cup champions are back to defend their title after they defeated Sockers FC 1-0 last year to take home the crown.
