Trio of teams nearing postseason

With only a few weeks remaining in the regular season, the Richmond Kickers are exactly where they want to be after four-point Week 25. Challenging the Kickers at the top are Omaha and Greenville followed closely by Chattanooga and South Georgia.

Forward Madison FC drops a pair of spots for the second consecutive week after a disappointing loss to North Carolina FC in stoppage time.

1
Last Week: 7
Average Ranking: 6

(8-10-8)
Week 25: ---
1
Last Week: 6
Average Ranking: 8

Average Ranking: 10
Tucson is easily enjoying its best run of form this season with a three-match unbeaten streak. The only thing holding it back is its league-low 24 points.

Average Ranking: 6
Fuego FC’s playoff hopes are slipping away as it continues to struggle with its offensive production.

Week 25: L v. NC
2

Average Ranking: 7
Riding the league’s longest losing and winless streaks, Forward Madison FC’s recent run of form may be enough to keep the side out of the playoffs for the third consecutive season.

(7-12-5)
Week 25: W @ TRM

Last Week: 11
Average Ranking: 7
NCFC picked up a win against Madison to snap its winless streak. North Carolina will need to make the most of its six matches remaining if it wants to challenge for a playoff position.
