CENTRAL

The Wasatch Division clubs hold onto the top two spots in the Central Region for another week, but look out for No. 3 Salvo, which kicked off its 2025 campaign with an impressive offensive display, winning big over Manitou F.C. to open its season. The St. Louis-based Lou Fusz Athletic made a big jump to No. 4 thanks to a pair of Week Three shutout wins, followed by Bavarian United SC and SouthStar FC, which rode a derby win versus debutants Fort Worth Vaqueras to slide into the No. 10 spot. Look for a shakeup with the Lake Michigan Division clubs, with No. 6 Green Bay Glory and No. 8 FC Milwaukee Torrent square off on Saturday with more than ranking on the line.

EAST 

The cream is rising to the top of the East Region, with Sporting CT taking over as the new No. 1 thanks to three incredible victories to kick off its debut WPSL season. Also with three wins—and the incredible scoring streak of Week Two Player of the Week, Nikki Cox, now with seven goals on the young season—Columbus Eagles FC is looking to reclaim the No. 1 spot. With consecutive 3-0 wins, Internationals SC soar from obscurity into the No. 3 spot as it proves to be the class of the Lake Erie Division. With Metropolitan Conference action kicking off in earnest this week, look for several familiar names to make big jumps, including current No. 5 Clarkstown Soccer Club and No. 8 Downtown United Soccer Club, neither of which have played yet this year. SJEB FC and Keystone FC round out the Top 10, seeing the light of day for the first time this season thanks to important divisional wins.

SOUTH

With a huge win over a cross-town rival, DECATUR FC moves into the No. 1 spot in the South. The question is whether the second-year club can hold onto that spot, as competition begins to ratchet up. In at No. 2 is Jacksonville Armada FC thanks to an unbelievable three-goal comeback in the last five minutes of the match to draw No. 6 West Florida Flames. Two-time WPSL champions, Pensacola FC, broke the South Region Top 10 with a shutout win to start the season, along with No. 9 Carolina FC, making its first appearance on the heels of a 2-1 win over NCFC, and Chattanooga FC in at No 10., which could be a serious contender for the South Region title after its off-season overhaul.

WEST
The best in the West Region are holding firm in spots one through four as the season gets going in earnest this week. The defending champs, California Storm retain No. 1 for a third straight week, followed by FC Premier at No. 2 for a second week then FC Davis at No. 3 and Beach Futbol in at No. 4. NWSL reserve side, Portland Thorns FC II round out the top five going into Saturday’s Cascadia Rivalry match at Seattle Reign FC II. Portland and So Cal Union FC are the two newcomers to this week’s West Region Top 10. With action picking up across the region, look for some big shifts across the board next week.
