Greenville top the Power Rankings for the first time this season

Greenville Triumph SC jump to the top of the Power Rankings for the first time this season as the side continues its rise following a slow start to the season. Greenville have won four of its last five and are perched atop the league table.

In its lone Week 13 match, Greenville played host to the newcomers from Colorado in a first-time meeting. A relatively quiet first 45 minutes gave way to a 20-minute period to start the second half in which three goals were recorded – two by Greenville and one by Northern Colorado – to confirm Triumph SC’s victory.

Despite the volatility of Week 13's results, this week's Power Rankings is highlighted by subtle changes. Greenville sees the largest rise, while Tormenta FC experiences the biggest drop.
