With three wins and three clean sheets in the books, Utah Surf ascended to the No. 1 spot in the Week One & Two SouthStar Systems National Power Rankings, leapfrogging from its No. 8 Preseason spot.
Preseason No. 1 California Storm made a statement, topping the ambitious Iron Rose FC 4-0 on the road, so don’t read too much into the Storm’s fall from the top spot. Down in Southern California, FC Premier’s big win over the weekend bumped it up to the No. 3 spot, followed by Jacksonville Armada FC, up from No. 20, and FC Davis, up from No. 21, to round out the Top Five after the first two weeks.
