Competition history

After joining the league in 1994, the Expos became one of the most successful and popular teams in the USL Premier Development League. In their first three seasons, from 1994 to 1997, the team lost only three regular season games and played in the Conference Championship game four times, in 1995, 1997, 2001, and 2004. During their 2001 preseason, the Expos played former the Major League Soccer franchise Tampa Bay Mutiny and lost only 1–0. In 2005, the Expos qualified for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup for the third time. However, their final season in 2007 proved disastrous, with the team losing 13 of 15 matches and scoring just one goal all season.
