5 p.m., 5/25		 6

11:30 a.m., 5/21		 2

19 AC Connecticut
(1-0-0)
Next match: vs. Albany Rush,
7 p.m., 5/21

A newcomer to the Power Rankings this week, how could AC Connecticut not make it following a 1-0 win over the reigning champions? AC Connecticut will hope to maintain that momentum against an Albany Rush side which lost 0-6 last time out.
20 San Juan SC
(3-1-0)
Next match: vs. San Francisco Glens SC,
7 p.m., 5/21
Last Week:
20		 San Juan currently leads the league in goals scored with 23 already this season through four games played. Despite a 3-2 loss to San Francisco City FC, we believe the firepower this team brings will make them a contender to emerge out of the Nor Cal Division.
