Already No. 1 on the USL Eastern Conference table, Louisville City FC boasts a form to back it up, also coming in atop the latest USL Power Rankings released Monday.
The boys in purple are in a tie for first — a five-person panel votes to assemble the rankings — with Reno 1868 FC out of the Western Conference.
San Antonio FC, Real Monarchs SLC and the Charlotte Independence round out the top five.
The USL’s Nicholas Murray pointed out two key stats that have LouCity on a roll lately.
First, while none of its players are in the top 10 in scoring in the league, LouCity’s had 15 on its roster hit the back of the net, most recently Guy Abend in Saturday’s 1-0 win over the Charleston Battery.
Second, while rotating between goalkeepers Greg Ranjitsingh and Tim Dobrowolski, LouCity sits third in the league with 10 shutouts as the club “continues to get things done at both ends of the park,” Murray wrote.
Overall, LouCity has won six of its last eight games heading into Saturday’s 7 p.m. away matchup against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds.
