| 1 |  |
Sporting JAX (11-4-4) Week 23: @ DAL |
 Last Week: 1 |
Sporting JAX cruised to its third consecutive victory down in Fort Lauderdale and now has a seven-point lead at the top of the standings. Multiple single-season records could be within reach before long. |
| 2 |  |
Spokane Zephyr FC (6-6-7) Week 23: vs. DC |
 Last Week: Not Ranked |
Spokane’s first three-goal performance at home in almost 11 months was exactly the return to ONE Spokane Stadium the side needed, especially with six of its final eight games of the regular season coming on home turf. |
| 3 |  |
DC Power FC (5-5-8) Week 23: vs. CAR; @ SPK |
Last Week: 3 |
Even without taking all three points, the Power were impressive on Thursday night at home to Dallas Trinity. Gianna Gourley’s going to be wondering what she needed to do to beat Trinity’s Tyler McCamey. |
| 4 |  |
Carolina Ascent FC (7-7-5) Week 23: @ DC; @ BKN |
Last Week: 4 |
The Ascent finally got all three points against Tampa Bay for their second consecutive victory. It wasn’t always the most convincing, but Tyler Lussi’s strike lifted Carolina to a much-needed win in a battle that could have gone either way. |
