Summary

1 Reading United AC
(7-0-1)
Week 7: W, 1-0 @FAE, W, 2-0 OCN
Week 8: @EVE

Last Week: 1
The Eastern conference is looking more likely to hold out in the run to the end of the season with Reading continuing to play strong. Last weekend they continued to roll their undefeated record with a 1-0 win on the road and a 2-0 win at home. Reading has just six games left this season with four of them being played at home to help clinch a top spot in the division.
2 Western Mass Pioneers
(6-0-2)
Week 7: W, 4-0 @ACC
Week 8: @BR, BOS

Last Week: 4
Another team with an undefeated record sits atop the Northeast Division as Western Mass has been rolling through the season outscoring opponents 19-2 in eight games. The Pioneers looked no different over the weekend with a 4-0 win over AC Connecticut. Similarly to Reading, Western Mass has four of their remaining six games at home but with all four of them in a row.
3 GPS Portland Phoenix
(6-2-2)
Week 7: W, 3-1 @SUP
Week 8: ACC

Last Week: 3
Heading up to Maine as they sit just on the heels of Western Mass with the same number of points but behind on goal differential. What hurts them is they only have four games left, two less than the Pioneers. But Portland has looked solid over the last week with a 3-1 win.
4 Black Rock FC
(5-3-0)
Week 7: W, 4-0 @WF
Week 8: WMP, MAN

Last Week: 2
Sitting in third in the Northeast Division is Black Rock, who could make a strong push to take the second place spot off of Portland Phoenix as they have two games in hand on them and also have four out of their final six games at home. But even when on the road Black Rock has been resolute including last weeks 4-0 win over Westchester Flames.
5 North Carolina Fusion U23
(4-2-2)
Week 7: W, 0-2 @TOB, L, 2-3 @VBU
Week 8: @LIO

Last Week: Not Ranked
The leaders of the South Atlantic could have an even better run into the end of the year than some other teams as they play their last away game of the season this weekend before a five-game homestand in Macpherson Stadium. But they still have some work to do to find consistency and remain on top.
