Professional Cup

edit

All five APSL teams took part in the Professional Cup, along with two teams from the Canadian Soccer League and one from the National Professional Soccer League. Just as they would in the APSL Final a week later, Colorado defeated Tampa Bay.[4] This combination, along with winning the 1992 APSL regular season, gave the Foxes a treble.[5][6]
