California Emperors
March 11, 2022
The California Emperors were a One-Year Wonder pro soccer club that at Ted Runner Stadium on the University of Redlands campus in 1990. After a dreadful 0-6 start, the Emperors found their form and won their division with a record of 8 wins, 7 losses and 5 shootout decisions. The Emperors fell to the Los Angeles Heat in a single-leg playoff at the end of August. This proved to be the club’s final match. The APSL’s Western Conference disintegrated during the following winter, shedding eight of its eleven clubs, including the Emperors.
