Rank	Team	Change	Summary
1	Des Moines Menace (6-1-0) Next match: @ Springfield FC, Wed 6/18, 7:00 p.m.	1 Last Week: 2	Des Moines was ready to play Saturday night, coming out on top 3-1 over former No. 1 Peoria City. The Menace snuck into halftime with the advantage, scoring in stoppage time and then tripled their lead less than 15 minutes into the second half. One of their strengths this year is getting goal contributions from up and down the lineup – over 10 players have scored this year. This week they have two matches against teams in the bottom half of the division before a rematch in Peoria.
2	Asheville City SC (6-0-0) Next match: vs. Dothan United, Sat 6/21, 7:30 p.m.	2 Last Week: 4	Asheville played over 515 minutes before conceding their first goal of the season. An impressive feat on its own, but considering they dismantled formerly unbeaten Birmingham Legion FC II 7-0, we think the rest of the Southern Conference should be on notice that this team is not to be taken lightly. Don’t forget this Vincent Kompany-esque strike from Dylan Kropp. This weekend’s matchup with Dothan United, who are only three points back, is another big one.
3	Laredo Heat SC (7-0-0) Next match: vs. Lonestar SC, Wed 6/18, 8:00 p.m.	Last Week: 3	Laredo are one of three teams in League Two to have crossed the 20-point mark, and the only one with a perfect record. They completed the double over Houston FC this weekend at home with a three-goal second half. They’ll be tested tonight, hosting Lonestar SC, whose offense has been in tune lately.
4	Vermont Green FC (6-0-1) Next match: vs. AC Connecticut, Sat 6/21, 6:00 p.m.	5 Last Week: 9	Vermont Green FC had a full week off to prepare for their top-of-the-table clash with Western Mass, and their rest clearly paid off. They came out flying from the second the whistle blew, keeping the Pioneers on their heels and securing a 2-0 victory. Next up is a home-and-away series against AC Connecticut, who are fighting to stay alive in the crowded Eastern Conference playoff race.
5	Ballard FC (5-0-2) Next match: vs. West Seattle Junction FC, Fri 6/20, 7:00 p.m.	4 Last Week: 1	It was a tough week for Ballard FC, earning two draws against formidable opponents. They worked hard, taking over 25 shot attempts, but didn’t find the goals they needed. A Friday night at home against West Seattle Junction FC looks like an opportunity for them to reset and get back in the win column.
6	FC Tucson (5-1-0) Next match: @ Redland FC, Sat 6/21, 7:00 p.m.	1 Last Week: 5	This week was a mixed bag for FC Tucson, who lost in San Diego to City SC and then shook it off by dismantling Coachella 16-0. They look improved from their 2024 squad that made it 90 minutes away from an appearance in the League Two Final. Two more away games will show how they deal with the ups and downs the season throws at them.
7	Fort Wayne FC (6-0-1) Next match: vs. Lexington SC, Wed 6/18, 7:00 p.m.	Last Week: 7	Fort Wayne FC relied on a late goal once again to secure three points against Kings Hammer Cincinnati. They have a chance to tighten their grip on the Valley Division lead tonight with a big clash against Lexington SC. Neither club has lost yet, so this match tonight is not one to miss.
8	Fort Lauderdale United FC (7-1-0) Next match: @ Sarasota Paradise, Wed 6/18, 7:30 p.m.	7 Last Week: 15	Fort Lauderdale was a second-half team in the last week, scoring all five of their goals in the latter 45. Carlos Zambrano provided the winner against Miami AC and a brace from Andres Morral got it done vs. Kings Hammer FC – Sun City. Tonight, they have a shot at revenge against Sarasota Paradise, who gave them their only loss of the season to date.
9	Lionsbridge FC (5-0-3) Next match: vs. Virginia Beach United, Sat 6/21, 7:00 p.m.	3 Last Week: 6	Luc Achermann was the hero, hurling in a free kick from the left side of the box to salvage a point in added time. Lionsbridge are still first in the Chesapeake Division but are feeling the heat from Nothern Virginia FC, who is tied with them on points, and this weekend’s opponent Virginia Beach United, who sits one point behind.
10	Western Mass Pioneers (5-1-2) Next match: vs. Boston Bolts, Fri 6/20, 7:30 p.m.	Last Week: 10	Western Mass were held to a 1-1 draw by Black Rock FC, who know how to keep games low scoring. They traveled to Vermont for their biggest game of the year yet, but it wasn’t their night. A Friday night clash with a tough Boston Bolts squad awaits them.
11	Little Rock Rangers (5-1-1) Next match: vs. Louisiana Krewe FC, Sat 6/21, 7:00 p.m.	9 Last Week: 20	Little Rock bounced back from their first loss of the season with two shutouts at home, and Hattiesburg FC made them work hard for their three points in a tightly contested match. The Rangers will host Louisiana Krewe FC this Saturday with three pivotal points on the line as the playoffs near.
12	Snohomish United (5-1-2) Next match: vs. Portland Bangers, Sat 6/21, 5:00 p.m.	4 Last Week: 8	Snohomish fought hard and held their weight, earning an impressive draw against former No. 1 Ballard FC. They thought they had three points locked up last night against Bigfoot, but a massive, four-goal second half brought the visitors back in it and sent everyone home with one point. An all-logo clash awaits them when they host the Portland Bangers this weekend.
13	Peoria City (5-2-0) Next match: @ FC Ambush, Tues 6/24, 7:00 p.m.	2 Last Week: 11	Another tough week for the Carps who fell to rivals Des Moines Menace on the road. They have their final away game of the season against FC Ambush, before four home games to get back on track and close out the regular season.
14	Charlotte Independence II (5-1-0) Next match: @ Tobacco Road FC, Wed 6/18, 7:00 p.m.	4 Last Week: 18	The Independence started their second win streak of the year with a 2-0 victory over Wake FC. They hit the road tonight to face Tobacco Road FC, in need of points to maintain their division lead over Salem City FC. This weekend, they host the Charlotte Eagles for a Queen City derby.
15	FC Motown STA (5-0-1) Next match: vs. Cedar Stars Rush, Sun 6/22, 3:00 p.m.	2 Last Week: 17	FC Motown STA put in two strong performances against Staten Island ASC and Manhattan SC, extending their winning streak to five games. The goals have been flowing for Motown, scoring 12 in their last three matches. They currently sit second in the Metropolitan Division, but with a game in hand over Long Island, these wins could make all the difference.
16	San Juan FC (7-2-0) Next match: @ Marin FC Legends, Wed 6/18, 5:30 p.m.	4 Last Week: 12	San Juan SC has had 11 days since their last match, a 3-0 loss to Almaden FC. That should be plenty of time for the Nor Cal Division leaders to regroup and rediscover their winning form. They’re taking the show on the road tonight against Marin FC Legends before a weekend clash in Oakland vs. Project 51O.
17	Dothan United (5-1-0) Next match: vs. Tennessee SC, Wed 6/18, 7:30 p.m.		Dothan United look much improved this season and a 4-1 victory over Birmingham Legion FC II proved that. They are right on Asheville City SC’s tail for first place and will face off with the division leaders on Saturday but shouldn’t look too far ahead because they’re hosting a defensively strong Tennessee SC squad.
18	Midwest United FC (6-3-0) Next match: @ Oakland County FC, Sat 6/21, 7:00 p.m.		After a slow start, Midwest United FC has rattled off six straight wins and found a lead atop the Great Lakes Division. Louise Ingavi has three goals in his last three games for the Michigan-based club. This weekend, they’ll face another team fighting to stay in the playoff race in Oakland County FC.
19	Ventura County Fusion (4-1-0) Next match: @ Southern California Eagles, Thurs 6/19, 6:30 p.m.	3 Last Week: 16	The Fusion righted the ship with a 1-0 home win over City SC after losing to Capo FC. They’re a win away from going level with FC Tucson, but Southern California Eagles will put up a good challenge.
20	Rochester FC (5-2-0) Next match: @ RKC Third Coast, Sun 6/22, 5:00 p.m.	1 Last Week: 19	Rochester FC thought they salvaged a point with Alexander Matthew’s 88th minute equalizer, but a stoppage time winner by Minneapolis City SC sent them away with nothing to show. Their next three games are all on the road against the three clubs sitting behind them in the Heartland Division, setting up a crucial stretch.
