Summary |
|
1 | South Georgia Tormenta FC (2-0-1) Week 2: W, 3-1 TUC, T, 0-0 @RIC Week 3: @ORL |
1 Last Week: 2 |
Seven points from three games is a very solid start, and Marco Micaletto looks like the real deal. | |
2 | North Texas SC (1-0-0) Week 2: -- Week 3: MAD |
1 Last Week: 1 |
NTSC slides a spot after its bye week, but its game with Forward Madison might be the most interesting of this weekend’s slate. | |
3 | Greenville Triumph SC (1-1-0) Week 2: W, 2-1 LAN Week 3: CHT |
5 Last Week: 8 |
Getting off and running in the win column before a sellout crowd was a great return home for Triumph SC. | |
4 | FC Tucson (1-1-0) Week 2: L, 1-3 @TRM Week 3: TOR |
Last Week: 4 |
Certainly feels as though there’s no shame in losing on the road at Tormenta FC, but how Tucson responds in its home opener will be important. | |
5 | Lansing Ignite FC (1-1-0) Week 2: L, 1-2 @GVL Week 3: RIC |
2 Last Week: 3 |
It wasn’t the prettiest display by Lansing before the two red cards. Now the Ignite get a rematch with Richmond for their home opener. | |
6 | Toronto FC II (1-0-0) Week 2: W, 2-0 @ORL Week 3: @TUC |
Last Week: 6 |
There’s nothing like getting that first three points in your opening game, especially on the back of such a good pair of goals. | |
7 | Chattanooga Red Wolves SC (1-1-0) Week 2: W, 1-0 MAD Week 3: @GVL |
2 Last Week: 9 |
A winning home opener was good for Red Wolves SC, but they’re going to need more consistency moving forward. | |
8 | Forward Madison FC (0-1-0) Week 2: L, 0-1 @CHT Week 3: @NTX |
3 Last Week: 5 |
A lot went well for the Flamingos, only for the result to go the wrong way in Chattanooga. | |
9 | Richmond Kickers (0-1-1) Week 2: T, 0-0 TRM Week 3: @LAN |
2 Last Week: 7 |
One point from two home games isn’t great, but at least the Kickers will have the motivation of revenge when they visit Lansing. | |
10 | Orlando City B (0-2-0) Week 2: L, 0-2 TOR Week 3: TRM |
Last Week: 10 |
Two games, two losses, two red cards. Not an ideal start at all for OCB. |
