Summary

1
LW: 2

Dayton Dutch Lions

Record: 4-0-1
W, 2-0 at WVC
W, 3-1 vs. DCR
6/9: vs. LAN After their draw against the Chaos to open the season, Dayton simply can't stop winning. Two more wins this week came away at the Chaos and at home against Derby City, catapulting them from No. 2 to the top spot this week.
2
LW: 3

Des Moines Menace

Record: 4-0-0
W, 2-1 at KV
W, 2-0 at STL
6/8: at TBC
6/10: at WSA
You can't start any better than perfect, and the Menace appear as good as advertised after adding another two road wins this week, bringing their total to four straight, three of which came away from home. The Chill away may prove a tougher test.
3
LW: 1

Lansing United

Record: 3-0-3
T, 1-1 at WVC
T, 1-1 vs. CIN
6/9: at DAY If you don't win, you'll get surpassed by teams that do. Lansing remains unbeaten, but falls two spots this week after two low-scoring draws and big wins for Dayton and the Menace. A road trip to Dayton this week provides an opportunity to re-seize the top spot sooner rather than later.
4
LW: NR

Chicago FC United

Record: 3-0-0
W, 4-0 at WSA
W, 4-0 at KV
6/7: at WSA
6/9: at TBC
Chicago FC United are hot on the Menace's tail, also beginning the season perfect and adding two 4-0 road victories to their belt this week. Like the Menace, a pair of Canadian road trips could prove more difficult in Week 6.
5
LW: NR

Thunder Bay Chill

Record: 2-0-0
W, 3-0 at WSA
W, 2-0 at WSA
6/8: vs. DMM
6/9: vs. CHI
Welcome to the 2018 season, defending Central Conference champs. A pair of shutout wins open the Chill's 2018 campaign, but two home matches in two days against the Menace and Chicago loom large this coming week.
