8. Brooklyn FC 

<p>Tampa Bay Sun certainly has the best game entrance - we're talking by boat - but has struggled to find their identity on the pitch, on both sides of the ball.</p><p>Although Tampa hasn't dropped a game yet, they have two draws after two weeks. Keeping the team in every game has proven to be goalkeeper Ashley Orkus, who has a 92.3% save percentage.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Your current <a href="https://twitter.com/USLSuperLeague?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@USLSuperLeague</a> saves leader: Ashley Orkus<br><br>Crunch-time performances like these are why. 🤯 <a href="https://t.co/zllc1QYCtL">pic.twitter.com/zllc1QYCtL</a></p>— Tampa Bay Sun FC (@TampaBaySunFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/TampaBaySunFC/status/1828109806936494381?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 26, 2024</a></blockquote>

6. DC Power

<p>Fort Lauderdale United FC have just one game under their belts, and last weekend came back from an early goal against to tie on the road against Spokane Zephyr.

5. Fort Lauderdale United FC

<p>Spokane Zephyr FC's roster is stacked with talent from all levels of the game, and the team showed up in Week 1 earning a point against Fort Lauderdale United.</p><p>Spokane will await their next match on Sept. 8 against Brooklyn FC. Despite a few mishaps defensively in their opening game, the team moves the ball well on transition and their attack shows a lot of promise.</p><p>If Brooklyn can get their field playable, Spokane will enter Week 4 ready, rested, and turning to midfielder Emina Ekić to get the team on the board.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ask for the sauce and you shall receive 🧑‍🍳<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ThisIsOurMoment?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ThisIsOurMoment</a> <a href="https://t.co/SBWKkv67kT">https://t.co/SBWKkv67kT</a> <a href="https://t.co/nNp9BwmOhA">pic.twitter.com/nNp9BwmOhA</a></p>— USL Super League (@USLSuperLeague) <a href="https://twitter.com/USLSuperLeague/status/1824985418258952648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 18, 2024</a></blockquote>

4. Spokane Zephyr FC

<p>Dallas Trinity has only played one game, and showed a strong start in their 1-1 result against Tampa Bay Sun.</p><p>It's hard to mention Dallas without noting two of their top players, Chioma Ubogagu and Amber Brooks.</p><p>Both Ubogagu and Brooks looked exceptional in Week 1 play, creating lots of attacking chances and grabbing seven shots on target. Dallas will make history as they gear up to play FC Barcelona.

Although Carolina eventually came back, Lexington showed a lot of promise up top, through set pieces, and defensive transitions to earn this week's No. 2 spot.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🧤 A late penalty save<br>1️⃣ <a href="https://twitter.com/LexSporting?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@LexSporting</a>’s first league goal<br>🚀 An epic equalizer <br><br>The Week 2 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 are here! 🦸‍♀️ <a href="https://t.co/72GsmqIn7U">pic.twitter.com/72GsmqIn7U</a></p>— USL Super League (@USLSuperLeague) <a href="https://twitter.com/USLSuperLeague/status/1828165870721606088?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 26, 2024</a></blockquote>

After the game, Poole said:</p><p>“There [are] some things we need to work on, but it was really good to see our team have enough about them to come back and to work through some difficulties.
