Summary
1 Forward Madison FC
LEAGUE: (4-0-4)
CUP: (3-1-0)
Week 11: T v TRM
Last Week: 1
Average Ranking: 4		 While its record winning streak was snapped in a scoreless draw on national television against South Georgia, Madison are still unbeaten in seven and are in a position to advance to both the USL Jägermeister Cup knockout round and the 2024 USL League One Playoffs.
2 Greenville Triumph SC
LEAGUE: (6-3-1)
CUP: (2-0-2)
Week 12: W v CLT
Last Week: 2
Average Ranking: 3		 Greenville have won back-to-back matches following recent victories against South Georgia and Charlotte. Triumph SC tops the league table and the East Group in USL Jägermeister Cup play.
3 Union Omaha
LEAGUE: (5-1-1)
CUP: (1-1-2)
Round 4: W v SPK
Last Week: 3
Average Ranking: 2		 A big test awaits Omaha as the Owls venture to Breese Stevens Field to take on a surging Madison side for the first time in 2024. Omaha have won two consecutive matches and will also aim to remain unbeaten at Breese Stevens Field for the fifth consecutive time.
4 Charlotte Independence
LEAGUE: (4-3-2)
CUP: (1-1-2)
Week 12: L @ GVL
Last Week: 4
Average Ranking: 5		 A lackluster performance in Greenville on Wednesday saw the Independence lose their first match across all competitions since May 17. Next up, Charlotte will face a four-match stretch against opponents either below the regular season playoff line or not in a position to advance to the USL Jägermeister Cup knockout rounds.
5 One Knoxville SC
LEAGUE: (4-3-1)
CUP: (2-2-0)
Week 11: L @ NCO
Last Week: 5
Average Ranking: 4		 Despite its relatively decent standings across both league and USL Jägermeister Cup play, Knoxville have only tallied one win in each of the past three months. After a tough loss in stoppage-time to Northern Colorado, Knoxville will have to prep to host Greenville and Madison to round out June.
6 South Georgia Tormenta FC
LEAGUE: (3-4-3)
CUP: (0-3-1)
Week 11: T @ MAD		 1
Last Week: 7
Average Ranking: 8		 The Ibises held the ‘Mingos scoreless for the first time since April in the pair’s scoreless draw on ESPN2 over the weekend. Next, South Georgia will travel to Chattanooga and Central Valley for a pair of winnable matchups.
7 Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC
LEAGUE: (2-2-2)
CUP: (2-0-2)
Week 11: W v KNX		 1
Last Week: 8
Average Ranking: 8		 The Hailstorm are unbeaten in seven straight matches and have won three consecutive contests to overcome their early-season struggles. Northern Colorado are one of two sides yet to lose in USL Jägermeister Cup play and have won back-to-back league matches.
8 Spokane Velocity FC
LEAGUE: (3-3-1)
CUP: (1-1-2)
Round 4: L @ OMA		 2
Last Week: 6
Average Ranking: 7		 Velocity FC is seeking its first League One victory since April 20 and first League One home victory since March 23. The first-year side will feel confident they can claim all three points against a struggling Lexington SC side on CBS Sports Golazo Network this Sunday.
9 Chattanooga Red Wolves SC
LEAGUE: (2-4-1)
CUP: (1-3-0)
Week 11: L v CLT		 1
Last Week: 10
Average Ranking: 10		 Thanks to a rapid Mayele Malango brace, the Red Wolves raced out to a two-goal lead in just 10 minutes against Charlotte. A colossal collapse, however, saw Chattanooga register its second consecutive league loss of two or more goals.
10 Richmond Kickers
LEAGUE: (2-4-3)
CUP: (1-2-1)
Week 11: T @ CV		 1
Last Week: 9
Average Ranking: 9		 Rather unlucky recently, Richmond have seen its last eight matches decided by one goal or fewer but have only been able to claim all three points on one of those eight occasions.
11 Lexington SC
LEAGUE: (1-4-2)
CUP: (2-1-1)
Round 4: L @ KNX
Last Week: 11
Average Ranking: 8		 Following a nice run of four matches unbeaten, Lexington have dropped back-to-back contests by a combined margin of 6-1 against Madison and Knoxville. LSC will now embark on its first trip to Spokane - the second-farthest away day in club history.
12 Central Valley Fuego FC
LEAGUE: (1-6-1)
CUP: (0-1-3)
Week 11: T v RIC
Last Week: 12
Average Ranking: 12		 Central Valley have now gone winless in 11 consecutive matches after a 1-1 draw with Richmond in Week 11. Time is running out for Jermaine Jones’ side to turn things around if they want to be eligible to win one of two trophies remaining this season.
