Atlanta Beat (2001-2003)
Perhaps the best all-around team in the pioneering Women’s United Soccer Association, the Atlanta Beat were the only club to make the playoffs in all three of the WUSA’s seasons. But they never captured a Founders Cup championship. The Beat advanced to the title match twice, losing Founders Cup I to the Bay Area CyberRays in 2001 and losing the third and final Founders Cup to the Washington Freedom in 2003.
