Power Rankings - Spring Season - Week Four

2017 SPRING SEASON POWER RANKINGS
RANKTEAMRECORDUP/DOWNCOMMENTS
1Emaan3-0-2Emaan went into their game against Haya missing a few key players but a strong start carried them through to a 2-1 win.  The team played well but penalties and consistency seem to have limited their ability to break games open for a more comfortable win.  That said they are undefeated over their first five games and are first place in the standings.
2Sabr2-2-1Sabr certainly showed that the flat effort from their Week Three double header was not what we should expect from this team as they steamrolled Taqwa for a 6-1 win.  David Ciombor and Ali Malik are a solid one-two punch providing offense for Sabr who have the best offense in the league.
3Taqwa2-1-0Taqwa came out flat in their first game last week in a 6-1 rout at the hands of Sabr only to play the mirror opposite in their second game with a 2-0 win over Yaqeen.  Adil Patel is carrying this team but needs some help for Taqwa to continue to win games.
4Ihsan1-1-2Ihsan got a big boost with the return of Osama Soliman and the result was a comfortable win over Yaqeen.  He fit right into the top line and contributed with a goal and an assist and it seems that attendance issues more than anything that is keeping the defending champions from showing last seasons form.
5Haya0-1-2Haya dropped a 2-1 game against Emaan last week, players showing up late certainly didn't help their cause as the score was 2-0 before a timeout was needed to get everyone on the same page.  The team has talent but goal scoring has been an issue and needs to turn around for them to be able to control games better.
6Yaqeen0-3-1Yaqeen has not been able to get their offense untracked this season with just three goals in four games.  Last week was their doubleheader and it was a horror show with two 2-0 losses.  The team has the pieces to compete but defensively seem to be thin on the back and may need to make a trade for a physical defenseman to shore things up as opposing forwards are being allowed to float through their zone.
