All eight USL Super League teams finally played in Week 4, shaking up the power rankings
All eight teams in the USL Super League finally competed in Week 4 action. Last week, only one game was played, and Brooklyn FC's home game was postponed, leaving little to no movement in the league rankings.
Now, after another dominant performance from top-runner Carolina Ascent, plus a win on the road from Tampa Bay Sun, there's been some shake up in INDVISA's USL Super League Power Rankings.
8Lexington SC ⬇️
Lexington SC had their chances against Tampa Bay Sun, but couldn't find the back of the net enough to earn the three points.
In the team's home opener on Sunday, they fell 3-2 to a very strong Tampa Bay side.
Lexington SC have had a tough early schedule to the season, facing the top two teams in the league. Next week, Lexington will travel to Dallas to face the Trinity in Week 5 action.
7Fort Lauderdale United ⬇️
Fort Lauderdale United have yet to earn their first win of the season. The Florida team has struggled to score in their first two matches on the year, and will have to find the back of the net if they hold any chance at rising up the league ranks.
Next week, FL United travels to take on DC Power.
6DC Power ↔️
DC Power are another team that hasn't earned a win yet, however it seems like things are slowly picking up for the Power.
In Week 4, DC Power played Spokane to a 1-1 draw. In Week 5, the DC-side will host Fort Lauderdale United in hopes of their first three points on the season.
5Brooklyn FC ⬆️
Brooklyn FC has made some movement in the rankings due to a couple factors. One, being they finally played - which helps. And two, being they put on a very valiant offensive effort.
Brooklyn played their first game over the weekend vs. Spokane Zephyr FC, and managed a 1-1 draw.
Despite the scoreline, Brooklyn dominated the match with 12 shots. The Brooklyn side will have a big test in Week 5, when they face second place Tampa Bay Sun.
4Spokane Zephyr FC ↔️
Spokane Zephyr FC isn't going anywhere in the rankings this week, despite earning their second draw in their second game of the season.
Zephyr FC has a stacked roster, but just hasn't quite found their rhythm. Despite scoring first in their last two games, they haven't been able to fully hold on until the end.
3Dallas Trinity ↔️
Dallas, like Spokane, have also two draws this season, zero wins, and zero losses. Despite only having two points overall, Dallas looks cohesive, disciplined, and like a top team in this league.
Week 5, Dallas will face Lexington in search of their first win of the season.
2Tampa Bay Sun ↔️
Tampa Bay Sun FC is just the second team in the league with a win this season. Because of that, Tampa Bay earns this week's second spot.
Tampa Bay earned their first victory over Lexington in Week 4 action, winning 3-2. In Week 5 play, Tampa Bay will host Brooklyn. This will certainly be an offensive match.
1Carolina Ascent ↔️
It's the Carolina show, once again. And, with good reason. The Ascent earned their second win of the season in Week 4, beating Fort Lauderdale 2-1 on Friday.
The Ascent put on a clinic in the win, with Renée Guion's goal making all the highlight reels for the weekend.
