The Central Conference’s top three teams all earned wins during Week 6, but the Des Moines Menace were the most impressive in their matches, defeating rivals Thunder Bay Chill twice in as many days.

3. K-W United FC (Previous: 2)
Last Week: W 4-3 vs. Derby City Rovers
K-W United extended its win streak to four games on Friday, but the back line did not perform as well as it typically has this regular season.

Sven Konig scored a hat trick to lead his side to victory, while Ken Krolicki scored the opener and assisted Konig’s first goal.

The Fire U-23 still sit atop the Heartland Division standings with 15 points after seven games.
