Summary
1 Forward Madison FC
LEAGUE: (5-0-4)
CUP: (3-1-0)
Week 12: W v OMA
Last Week: 1
Average Ranking: 4		 The ‘Mingos are still riding that club-record eight-match unbeaten streak after a massive shutout victory against Omaha last week. With the recent acquisition of Garrett McLaughlin from North Carolina, Madison's roster now features THREE of the top 10 all-time leading scorers in league history.
2 Greenville Triumph SC
LEAGUE: (7-3-1)
CUP: (2-0-2)
Week 12: W v CLT, W @ KNX
Last Week: 2
Average Ranking: 3		 Triumph SC has strung together its second three-match win streak of the season, downing Charlotte and Knoxville in a pair of 2-0 victories. Greenville's 20 goals through 11 league matches are the most to start a season in club history and its 22 points are the second-most through 11 league matches in club history, second only to its 2020 title-winning season.
3 Union Omaha
LEAGUE: (5-2-1)
CUP: (1-1-2)
Week 12: L @ MAD
Last Week: 3
Average Ranking: 2		 Madison handed Omaha its first shutout loss across all competitions in nearly a year last Thursday. With its second league loss of June, the Owls have tallied just their fifth multi-loss month in league play across its five-season existence.
4 Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC
LEAGUE: (3-2-2)
CUP: (2-0-2)
Week 12: W @ RIC		 3
Last Week: 7
Average Ranking: 8		 Despite its slow start to the season, the Hailstorm are enjoying an eight-match unbeaten streak and a four-match win streak across all competitions. With the departures of a pair of All-League First Team talents, Bruno Rendón and Ethan Hoard have done well to fill those holes.
5 Charlotte Independence
LEAGUE: (4-3-2)
CUP: (1-1-2)
Week 12: L @ GVL		 1
Last Week: 4
Average Ranking: 5		 The Jacks were defeated by a pair of goals against a surging Greenville side - Charlotte’s first shutout loss in league play in just under a year. Next, the Independence will face the Kickers - a team they haven’t lost to in over two years - for the 20th time across the series’ 10-year history.
6 One Knoxville SC
LEAGUE: (4-4-1)
CUP: (2-2-0)
Week 12: L v GVL		 1
Last Week: 5
Average Ranking: 4		 Like Charlotte, Knoxville were shut out by table-topping Greenville, 2-0, in Week 12. It won’t get much easier for One Knox heading into Round 5 of the USL Jägermeister Cup, as the third-year side takes on Central Group-leading Madison on Saturday.
7 South Georgia Tormenta FC
LEAGUE: (3-5-3)
CUP: (0-3-1)
Week 12: L @ CHA		 1
Last Week: 6
Average Ranking: 8		 The Ibises were shocked in stoppage time by a late Chattanooga winner in what was South Georgia’s first loss to the Red Wolves since August 2022. Winless across its last five, Tormenta FC has not claimed victory since a 4-0 thrashing against Chattanooga back on May 18.
8 Spokane Velocity FC
LEAGUE: (3-3-2)
CUP: (1-1-2)
Week 12: T v LEX
Last Week: 8
Average Ranking: 7		 Velocity FC salvaged a draw against Lexington for the second time this season to remain above the playoff line. With the largest postseason field in league history, Spokane are in a good position to become just the sixth club to qualify for the USL League One Playoffs in its first season of existence.
9 Chattanooga Red Wolves SC
LEAGUE: (3-4-1)
CUP: (1-3-0)
Week 12: W v TRM
Last Week: 9
Average Ranking: 10		 The Red Wolves pulled off a remarkable win late against the Ibises in the pair’s Week 12 contest. Next, Chattanooga will look to remain in contention in the Central Group as they take on Omaha - a team it has defeated just once since the start of the 2022 season - in USL Jägermeister Cup action.
10 Richmond Kickers
LEAGUE: (2-5-3)
CUP: (1-2-1)
Week 12: L v NCO
Last Week: 10
Average Ranking: 9		 Just about halfway through the 2024 campaign, the Kickers have already recorded their third stretch of three or more consecutive winless matches, equaling their 2023 total. A pair of tough upcoming matches against Charlotte and Madison await Richmond in the coming weeks.
11 Lexington SC
LEAGUE: (1-4-3)
CUP: (2-1-1)
Week 12: T @ SPK
Last Week: 11
Average Ranking: 8		 Lexington let another three points slip away, settling for a 1-1 draw on the road against Spokane. Lexington currently leads the league with seven points dropped from winning positions.
12 Central Valley Fuego FC
LEAGUE: (1-6-1)
CUP: (0-1-3)
Week 12: ---
Last Week: 12
Average Ranking: 12		 Now winless across their last eight matches spanning league, U.S. Open Cup and USL Jägermeister Cup play, Fuego FC is inching dangerously close to matching or surpassing its club-record stretch of 14 unbeaten matches set a season ago.
