Notes:
- ^ The Boston Breakers forfeited the May 26 match against the Western New York Flash for fielding an ineligible player. The Boston Breakers won the match 3–2.[3] The WPSL credited the Western New York Flash with a 1–0 victory[4] with all previous goals of the match being nullified.[5] Before the June 18 ruling,[4] Breakers forward Katie Schoepfer led the league in scoring with 8 goals. However, her 3 goals at the May 26 match were all forfeited, as were goals by Flash players Adriana and Angela Salem.
