The Force played the Los Angeles Salsa on the APSL Opening Day, June 14, 1994, in Houston's Joe Kelly Butler Stadium. The Salsa handled the Force easily, winning 3-0, in front of an estimated crowd of 1,400 fans. Seven days later, the APSL executive board revoked the team's league membership based on financial difficulties. (en)
