15U Power Rankings: Week 13: July 11, 2012
New No. 1: Team SCAN takes out The City, claims top spot
The adidas Invitational offers the opportunity for some shakeups in our rankings, but Team SCAN pre-empted its competitors by defeating our previous #1, The City, and Sports U. en route to the 16U championship at the NJ Roadrunners Tournament. Despite the loss, The City jumped to our 16U rankings — they have been competing consistently at the 16U level.
