One Spokane Stadium
501 West Gardner Avenue
A professional women's soccer club that was based in Spokane, Washington. It was the sister club of Spokane Velocity FC, owned by Ryan and Katie Harnetiaux's Aequus Sports, LLC. It played two seasons in the USL Super League, a U.S. Soccer Division I women's outdoor league, at One Spokane Stadium in 2024/2025 and 2025/2026.
Named in reference to the west winds of the inland northwest, the Zephyr were one of the eight clubs that played in the USL Super League's inaugural 2024/2025 season. Despite prolific goalscorer Emina Ekić in midfield and a reliable Hope Hisey in goal, the team's playoff chances were severely handicapped by a horror 2–6–6 start. A post-winter break renaissance punctuated by the arrival of impactful forward Ally Cook was not enough, and they finished the season just outside the playoffs in fifth. A minor revamp ahead of their sophomore 2025/2026 season brought in forwards Cameron Tucker and Lena Silano, and defender Madelyn Desiano—all repatriated from European leagues. FTL United midfielder Felicia Knox also found her way to the Zephyr via a transfer early in the season. However, the team once again suffered a prolonged period of draws and losses throughout the mid-season that rendered their late-season rally for naught as they once again finished in fifth. The lack of on-field success, mounting travel costs as the league's only west coast team, and declining attendance, all likely contributed to the club's dissolution at the end of the 2025/2026 season. Emma Jaskaniec was the club's most capped player (55), while Ally Cook was their top goalscorer (11).
