Power Rankings Spring Season - Week Seven

2016 SPRING SEASON POWER RANKINGS
RANK	TEAM	RECORD	UP/DOWN	COMMENTS
1	Emaan	5-1-0		Emaan defeated Haya for the second time in two weeks, their strategy of rolling their top line out often worked again and Arif Bijabhai found his scoring touch as he finished with three goals and an assist.  They have the top offense in the league which makes them a tough match-up.  Emaan now faces Shukr who are in hot pursuit for first place.
2	Shukr	4-2-0		Shukr came up with a big win last week over Ikhlas despite missing a number of key players.  Coach K set up the games only goal and with Sadat Malik getting into the groove this team is poised to make a run.  A key game against first place Emaan is up next as they look to make a run for first place.
3	Haya	4-2-0		Haya started the season strong but consecutive losses to Emaan has them reeling.  They showed heart in their last loss, working hard to keep it close but it wasn't enough for a win.  Ozair Naveed was a bright spot in the loss with his hustle and speed and Haya will need more of it as they try to get their first win in April.
4	Sabr	1-3-2		Sabr showed that their offense cannot be contained for long as a 3-0 early deficit to Ihsan last week was slowly chipped away at and a shorthanded goal tied it up late in the game.  Shuaib Hussein looked good in his debut with two goals and an assist as he is tasked with replacing Osama Soliman's offensive output.  The tie keeps them precariously close to the bottom of the table but for now they are hanging onto 4th with a big game against 5th place Ikhlas up next.
5	Ikhlas	1-4-1		Ikhlas gave up a late goal in their game against Shukr and ended up on the wrong side of a 1-0 decision.  While the loss hurts, the team has to be happy with their improved efforts of late and the energy they are playing with now.  A big game against Sabr is up next, a win jumps them into 4th place and in control of their own destiny as the playoffs approach - the two teams face each other in back to back games so Ikhlas will want to set the tone in the first meeting and limit Sabr's offensive punch.
6	Ihsan	0-3-3		Ihsan came roaring out of the gate last week as they quickly built up a 3-0 lead over Sabr.  Things looked like they were all going the teams way but little mistakes allowed Sabr to chip away and eventually tie the game up late.  The tie keeps this team in the hunt for a playoff spot but had to feel like a loss knowing they were so close to their first win.  A big positive was the play of embattled goalie Fraz Khan who made some critical saves to keep his team in it including a pair of spectacular glove saves in the final minute to preserve the tie for his team.
