A short schedule in Week 21 moved DC Power firmly into the playoff conversation, while Dallas Trinity’s last-gasp victory against Lexington was big for both the Texas club and league-leader Sporting Club Jacksonville as we head into a crucial slate of games this week.
Without further ado, here are this week’s Power Rankings:

Sporting JAX (10-4-4) Week 22: @ FTL |
 Last Week: 1 |
Sporting JAX got a major boost from Dallas Trinity’s victory in Lexington on Sunday afternoon. Now it’s got a four-point lead on LSC with 10 games to go in the season, a nice cushion going into Saturday’s trip to Fort Lauderdale. |

Dallas Trinity FC (8-6-3) Week 22: @ DC |
 Last Week: Not Ranked |
Trinity’s late victory in Lexington might have come against the run of play, but it’s got Dallas in a great spot ahead of Thursday’s game at DC Power. Come away with three points there and they’re level on points with LSC and in contention for a top-two finish. |

DC Power FC (5-5-7) Week 22: vs. DAL |
1 Last Week: 4 |
The Power not only equaled their longest undefeated streak in club history with victory in Brooklyn but looked mightily impressive in doing so. Equally significant, the last four goals the side has bagged have been players who aren’t Gianna Gourley, with winter acquisition Alyssa Walker making her presence felt. |
| 4 |  |
Carolina Ascent FC (6-7-5) Week 22: vs. TB |
 2Last Week: 2 |
The Ascent will be paying close attention to Thursday’s game between DC and Dallas before their clash with Tampa Bay on Saturday. They can’t afford to overlook the Sun, who have been playing far better in their past three outings. |
