USL Week 23: Louisville on a rampage, Reno on a roll
Lucky 13’s
Swope Park Rangers who had been nearly untouchable through July, have slowed to a crawl in August. SPR settled for the 4th straight draw this past weekend. That makes 4 points on their last five matches. Streaking Reno 1868 FC are now 13 points off the leader, Real Monarchs.
In the east, however, more than half the teams are within 13 points of current co-leader, Louisville City FC. LCFC have run off 5 wins in their last 6 matches and scored 13 goals in their last 3. With 8 weeks to go, nearly every Eastern Conference side’s fans may still have hope for the playoffs.
So, what to watch…?
