Just one more day remains in the opening weekend of the 2017-18 US Youth Soccer National League Girls season, with Sunday's matches solidifying team standings until the next meeting at the National League Winter Showcase in Bradenton, Fla., Jan. 13-15.
The third day of league play in North Carolina tends to separate the field as teams settle in after an anxious start to the season. While several teams have begun to make strides in the group standings, no division has a clear favorite to claim the title. The top two teams in eight of the 16 divisions are separated by one point or less, and five of the divisions contain ties atop the standings.
