Summary |
|
1 | North Texas SC (10-2-3) Week 16: W, 2-0 @RIC Week 17: TRM |
Last Week: 1 |
Taking care of business on the road in Richmond means NTSC has an eight-point lead at the top of the standings ahead of its first showdown with Tormenta FC. | |
2 | Chattanooga Red Wolves SC (6-4-6) Week 16: T, 1-1 @ORL, T, 1-1 @MAD Week 17: -- |
Last Week: 2 |
The Red Wolves should be kicking themselves for only taking a point against Orlando and missing out on bolstering its position in the top four. | |
3 | Lansing Ignite FC (6-5-7) Week 16: W, 3-2 MAD, T, 2-2 TUC Week 17: @TOR |
2 Last Week: 5 |
Four points from six over the week was a solid return to move into third place, but Friday’s visit to Toronto is a very big game with the Reds holding three games in hand. | |
4 | Forward Madison FC (5-7-4) Week 16: L, 2-3 @LAN, T, 1-1 CHT Week 17: -- |
1 Last Week: 3 |
Madison was 13 minutes from a vital victory against the Red Wolves. Instead, the gap to fourth place remained at five points after Chattanooga’s equalizer. | |
5 | Toronto FC II (6-5-4) Week 16: W, 3-0 TRM Week 17: LAN |
3 Last Week: 8 |
The Reds became the first side to put three goals past Tormenta FC this season in what might have been their most impressive performance of the campaign. | |
6 | South Georgia Tormenta FC (7-3-4) Week 16: L, 0-3 @TOR Week 17: @NTX |
2 Last Week: 4 |
Back-to-back defeats would not necessarily be the way to go into a road trip to North Texas, it’s going to be interesting to see what Tormenta FC can produce. | |
7 | Greenville Triumph SC (5-5-5) Week 16: W, 1-0 ORL Week 17: TUC |
Last Week: 7 |
Nothing seemed to be going quite right for Triumph SC on Saturday night until Aaron Walker’s goal two minutes from time earned a crucial win against OCB. | |
8 | FC Tucson (5-6-4) Week 16: T, 2-2 @LAN Week 17: @GVL |
2 Last Week: 6 |
A point in Lansing wasn’t a bad result at all to start Tucson’s road trip, but it is going to need to start cutting into its gap to the playoff positions at some point soon. | |
9 | Orlando City B (3-10-4) Week 16: T, 1-1 CHT, L, 0-1 @GVL Week 17: @RIC |
Last Week: 9 |
OCB showed admirable fight to rally against the Red Wolves in midweek, but with an 11-point gap to the playoffs with 11 games to go its playoff hopes are somewhat dead. | |
10 | Richmond Kickers (3-9-3) Week 16: L, 0-2 NTX Week 17: ORL |
Last Week: 10 |
Four consecutive defeats leave the Kickers rooted to the bottom of the standings, but more concerning is the 550-minute scoreless streak dating back to May 22. |
