Sporting Club Jacksonville continued to rack up single-season records, while results elsewhere helped the league-leaders move closer to clinching the Players’ Shield before the month is done, after what could prove a pivotal weekend of results in the playoff race both for seeding and a place in the four-team field.
Without further ado, here are this week’s Power Rankings:

 Last Week: 1 |
Sporting JAX’s victory in Fort Lauderdale took Paige Kenton to double-digit goals this season and Baylee DeSmit’s on the doorstep after her two-goal performance. No club had multiple players with double-digit goals in the regular season in the 2024/25 season. |

Emily Morris’ first professional goal was a stunner, earning Carolina a big victory at home against Lexington SC. They’re one win from clinching a second consecutive postseason berth and have made it a battle for second place with four games to go. |

DC Power FC (7-6-8) Week 27: — |
Last Week: Not Ranked |
Finally, DC Power earns victory against Tampa Bay with its new scoring ace Alyssa Walker leading the way. Walker’s four goals since joining the Power have all been game-winners and have been key to DC staying in the postseason race. |

Lexington SC (10-3-10) Week 27: vs. TB |
 2Last Week: 2 |
Lexington did plenty right against Carolina, dominating possession and territory, but couldn’t turn it into a decisive moment. That allowed Jacksonville to create separation at the top of the standings and puts pressure on LSC to earn a result at home to a Tampa Bay sun it has yet to take victory against all-time. |
