Orlando City's slide continues with San Antonio's jump and don't look now, but the Wilmington Hammerheads are starting to show strong with positive results over the past week against the top two teams in the USL Pro table.
The bottom of the list, meanwhile, remains a muddled mess. Antigua has, arguably, its last chance at picking up points when they play the second of two games in Phoenix.
