Rank	Team	Last Week	This Week	Summary
1 LW: 1	Des Moines Menace Record: 7-0-0	W, 1-0 VS. TB	6/19: at CHI 6/20: at CHI 6/23: vs. KV	They've hit the midway point of the season and the Menace have successfully navigated their first seven matches without dropping a single point. The Central Conference's scariest team takes to the road against their immediate followers twice this week.
2 LW: 2	Chicago FC United Record: 5-1-0	L, 1-2 at STL	6/19: vs. DMM 6/20: vs. DMM 6/23: at STL	The first setback of the season for Chicago FC United sees the club fall on the road to the St. Louis Lions. Still, a respectable 5-1-0 mark remains tops in the Conference outside of the Menace, who they'll face twice at home this week.
3 LW: 4	Dayton Dutch Lions Record: 5-1-2	W, 1-0 at MIC T, 1-1 at LAN	6/23: vs. CIN	The Dayton Dutch Lions went into Michigan and escaped with four points from two matches, including a draw in Lansing to stay at the top of the Great Lakes Division. They bump up over Lansing United as a result.
4 LW: 3	Lansing United Record: 4-0-4	T, 1-1 vs. DAY	6/22: vs. MIC 6/24: vs. WVC	Lansing United had a chance to capitalize on a home match against the Dayton Dutch Lions, but failed to do so as the latter escaped with a point and control of the division. The focus now shifts to the potential of an unbeaten season against their in-state rival Bucks.
5 LW: NR	Kaw Valley FC Record: 4-4-1	W, 2-1 vs. TB	6/23: at DMM	While the West Virginia Chaos have fewer losses, their repeated draws have left the door open for Kaw Valley FC, who showed up with a win over the Thunder Bay Chill at home in Week 7. A tough trip to Des Moines comes up next.
