With all the preparations for the final group round of the Jägermeister Cup, we never got around to publishing the Power Rankings from the prior week’s league play. With the exception of the Las Vegas Lights (who have since really beefed up their roster), there was relatively little movement. Note also that there is already one completed game this week; the Pittsburgh Riverhounds and The™ Miami FC drew 1-1 Tuesday evening. Here are the very delayed rankings:
