The Femmes, on the other hand, found themselves on a slide all season. After that gold in Tampa, they would place second in Cincinnati, and third at‘ Cup. Call it a complete set of medals for them for 2025.
Dallas Vibe had the opposite trajectory with fourth at Tampa, third in the Midwest, and a second-place finish at‘ Cup- the‘ Cup finish being the real heartbreaker for them. They went into the finals, a rematch They went into the finals, a rematch of the 2024 finals against the Heroines, looking for redemption. But Vibe just couldn’ t seem to find an answer for the powerhouse team from Boston.
The New Jersey High Rollers started out looking like they were going to have their breakout season. Starting with a secondplace finish at Tampa, they seemed to be putting things together. But that would be the highest they would get, and the only podium they would see. The midseason departure of Paige Vasser to her local Tiki’ s Ohana proved to be a costly one that the Rollers just couldn’ t overcome. They followed the red-hot event in Tampa with back-to-back 6th place finishes and a fourth-place season ranking overall. But they did develop the strongest farm program in the league with multiple sister squads and lowerdivision teams competing in the 5v5 and 3v3 tourneys. Don’ t count this team out of the competition in the season ahead.
Looking ahead to 2026, the trend of development will continue starting in Florida. Tiki’ s Ohana is seeking a rebrand and some organizational shifts that will make the team a hot competitor going forward. www. paintball. media
