Atlantic Division
Looks like it's still the Red Bulls and the Brooklyn Italians on top... in five games, the Red Bulls still haven't given up a goal. The two square off this weekend at NJIT on Saturday.
The four other squads are only separated by three points: The NYAC and the Seacoast Mariners play on Saturday as well. The Seacoast Phantoms take on NYAC on Sunday.
Keystone Division
Greater Binghamton has a three point lead on Hershey and four over Junior Lone Star. The next three teams have only two points apart while the bottom three are only two points apart as well. Binghamton can get more points on the board against Pocono Snow. Hershey takes on Clarkstown and Junior Lone Star takes on FC Reading.
Junior Lone Star tied Lehigh Valley, but that didn't sit well with one of the JLS wingers, @galileo87:
Refs are bound to make mistakes;its part of the human element (imperfection).But when they tend to override their conscience! It annoys me.
A shame that the battle between the "Haves" & "Have nots" has started disrupting the image of the Beautiful Game. Play fair, play beautiful.
This was in reference to our NPSL game yesterday. We will keep our heads up, loose no composure and we shall bounce back @juniorlonestar.
Discrimination and Bias will always exist; never judge all by the actions of few because two wrongs doesn't make the situation any righter.
Mid Atlantic Division
One of the more competitive division out there with the top four teams only three points out. RVA takes on Chesterfield, separated by two points. Myrtle Beach beat DC United Wednesday and get cellar dweller CASL Elite.
South Central
The blistering start of Tulsa Athletics has a seven-point lead over Liverpool with the two Houston franchises way back after 8 games have been played. Tulsa, who is right now at +24 in goal differential, hosts Liverpool this weekend.
Southeast Division
It's two halves: Chattanooga, Gulf Coast, and Rocket City are three points apart. Knoxville, New Orleans, and Jester City are the lower half- also separated by three. Chattanooga plays a home game with Gulf Coast and then travels for a Wednesday match with Rocket City. This may go a long way to sorting out the top.
A really cool thing happened with Chattanooga FC with their game last week. The team went pink for breast cancer in memory of local anchor Mary Ellen Locher, who was lost to the disease...
Matt Reakes explains why it was such a big deal...

Here's a preview of Chattanooga FC and Gulf Coast...
New Orleans has two matches with Rocket City and Knoxville. Mississippi has the weekend off at the bottom of the table.
Sunshine Division
Jacksonville United has a four-point lead on the Georgia Revs with the Revs only two points clear of both Tampa and Miami. Jacksonville plays Miami, and the Revs get the weekend off. Tampa gets Cape Coral at home.
Central Division
Quad Cities is still in control with 22 points and get the weekend off. The next two, Milwaukee and Madison are two points apart. The Bavarians have a road trip with Minnesota and Eau Claire while Madison does the reverse. This weekend will go a long way to figuring out whether the division will get more condensed or pulled apart.
Great Lakes Division
Two distinct groups- Detroit City FC and FC Buffalo are 1-2 and three points apart. The Wolves get FC Sparta Michigan and a big Sunday matchup with Detroit City this weekend. Erie, in fourth, gets AFC Cleveland and Zanesville.
Detroit City had no problems last week with Zanesville, winning 4-0
((HT: Detroit City FC))
And here's the second half of the game last week where FC Buffalo FINALLY beat Erie, 1-0
((HT: wnymedia))
Northern California
Sonoma County and Sacramento are a point apart on top with Real San Jose five points back in third. CD Aguiluchos and San Francisco are fourth and fifth- they play each other this weekend. Sonoma gets San Jose and Sacramento has the weekend off.
Southern California
The other "most competitive" division with three teams separated by four points. FC Hasental beat San Diego on the road to move to 24 points. The Flash are now tied with Santa Clarita at 20. Orange County is at 17 points with Las Vegas and SD Boca at the bottom of the table.
The Flash take on Boca, Hasental take on Vegas, and Santa Clarita takes on OC...
Last week, Hasental stopped the Flash's unbeaten streak at seven games. Here's the game winner by Manuel Cazares
((HT: FC Hasental))
Player of the Week
The winner, for the week ending June 9th, is Zanesville Athletic defender/midfielder Smart Osadolor.
Osadolor has been one of Zanesville Athletic's most consistent performers this season. Last weekend Osadolor was moved from his usual left back spot to left midfielder. He responded with two goals and an assist for the weekend, helping Zanesville to its first-ever point in a 2-2 draw with FC Sparta Michigan on June 9th.
Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, Osadolor comes to ZAFC from Tiffin University, where he will be a sophomore in the fall.
