Pair of matches see three teams vying for top spot

Greenville Triumph SC VS. North Carolina FC

Meeting for the third time this season, Greenville Triumph SC (6-4-2, 1st) will host North Carolina FC (5-4-2, 4th) in a match that can shake up the top spot of the league table. North Carolina FC is unbeaten against Greenville this season, but the visitors have never bested Greenville at Triumph Stadium. Both Greenville and North Carolina are unbeaten in four of their last five.

GVL - Paul Christensen: While no goalkeeper kept a clean sheet in a goal-filled Week 13, Christensen conceded just one goal and recorded three saves to limit a Northern Colorado offense coming off a four-goal match just days earlier.

NC - Garrett McLaughlin: McLaughlin leads the league in goals with eight and has only failed to score in four out of 11 total matches this sesason.

FC Tucson vs. Richmond Kickers

Venue: Kino North Stadium; Tucson, Ariz.

Meeting for the first time this season, FC Tucson (3-6-2, 11th) will look to extend its unbeaten streak to three while the Richmond Kickers (5-4-3, 2nd) will aim to get back to the top of the table. While the Kickers control the all-time series with a 4-2-3 overall record, Richmond has never been able to defeat FC Tucson at Kino North Stadium in five prior meetings.

TUC - Louis Perez: Perez opened the scoring against Chattanooga with a dagger of a shot as Tucson would go on to upset the Red Wolves in CHI Memorial Stadium.

RIC - Akira Fitzgerald: Fitzgerald leads the league in saves with 43 but hasn't kept a clean sheet in three matches.
