Playoffs

The Islanders finished 8th place at the end of the regular season earning the last playoff seed. The seeding would require the Islanders to play any post-season matches on the road. Despite being considered the underdog of the playoffs, the Islanders advanced past Commissioner's Cup winners, Orlando City SC in the quarterfinals, 4th-seeded Richmond Kickers in the semifinals, ultimately losing to Sacramento Republic in the 2014 Championship final.

Through extra time, Pennsylvania native, Andrew Wenger, struck twice advancing the Union with a score 3-1.
