Summary
1 Reading United AC
(8-0-3)
Week 9: T, 1-1 LI, T, 2-2 NY
Week 10: @OCN
Last Week: 1		 In their second game last week they faced some adversity going two goals down to the Red Bull’s U23 but battled back in the final ten minutes behind Simon Becher and Felipe Hideki to extend their regular season unbeaten streak to 29 games. Reading sits in pole position and control their own destiny for the playoffs and can clinch the division by taking five points in their last three.
2 Western Mass Pioneers
(9-0-3)
Week 9: W, 3-1 WF, T, 2-2 SUP
Week 10: MAN
Last Week: 2		 Last week the Pioneers took four points in two games taking down Westchester 3-1 and grabbing a 2-2 draw against Seacoast United. Western Mass has just two games remaining, both against Manhattan SC, and only need four points from those two games to clinch the division.
3 North Carolina Fusion U23
(6-3-2)
Week 9: W, 2-1 TRI, W, 2-1 TOB
Week 10: LIO
Last Week: Not Ranked		 The Fusion has looked strong all season and currently have the top spot in the South Atlantic to show for it. They took all six points last week that was available to them but face a tough race to the finish. Their last three games being at home gives them an edge as they have yet to lose in Macpherson Stadium but will have to take down the two teams directly behind them in the next two games if they want to clinch their playoff spot.
4 Long Island Rough Riders
(5-1-4)
Week 9: T, 1-1 @REA, W, 2-0 @EVE
Week 10: @NY, EVE
Last Week: 4		 The Rough Riders played hard and stole a point off of Reading last Wednesday before beating Evergreen 2-0 over the weekend. Mathematically they still have a shot at the playoffs but might have a rough ride, pun intended, with three of their last four on the road and needing Reading to slip up in the process.
5 GPS Portland Phoenix
(7-2-2)
Week 9: W, 3-1 @SUP, W, 3-1 ACC
Week 10: @MAN, @WF		 2
Last Week: 3		 Didn’t get a chance to play last week but still hold a game in hand on Western Mass and sit just seven points behind them. With three games left, they can still catch the Pioneers but will need them to slip up in one of their last two games to do so.
