National Ranking Update - MVLA Lightning Ranked #1 by both GotSoccer and National Soccer Rankings
After winning the Far West Regional League and then claiming the Region IV Championship, Lightning has (for the first time) climbed atop both recognized ranking charts. While GotSoccer www.gotsoccer.com and National Soccer Rankings www.nationalsoccerranking.com have their unique calculation and awards points/rank with different criteria, they currently have Lightning sitting in the #1 spot in the USA. To really own that spot, the girls will have to bring their A game to Overland Park, Kansas and prove they are indeed the best of the best.
