The Oakland Victory capped off a 101-win season in a fashion that truly befits their team nickname. After a six-game series victory over the Southeast Division champion New Orleans Black Sox (after jumping out to a 3-0 series lead), the Victory took on division rival (and Western Division champ) Denver Pines for the first Federal Cup. The Federal Cup series also went six games, with Denver jumping out to a 2-1 series lead before Oakland rolled off a three-game win streak to take the series and the championship.
