LAFAYETTE, IN — FC Indiana coach Shek Borkowski has tipped three future WPS team to lead the league title chase.

Borkowski told FCI TV: "I think there are a dozen clubs who have expectations and believe this is their season but everyones’ favorites are the big three: Washington, Jersey Sky Blue and Pali Blues, and rightly so having very strong squads and big financial resources.“

Midwest Division - Central Conference
"I feel that we are one of a dozen of clubs that have the squads and experience to compete with the big three. In our division I expect it to be a dog fight till the end. Michigan and Minnesota have been there and know what it takes to be successful but Chicago, Fort Wayne, Kalamazoo, West Michigan and Cleveland all have experienced coaches and very good players. We will take it one opponent at a time and see where we stand in July."

The Pole has a record of 52-5-5 with FC Indiana but is at a loss to predict who will impress when the action starts on next week.

"I just don’t have a clue in our division," Borkowski told FCI TV. "I will be watching as many games as I can. There usually is a huge turnover of players at many clubs and you cannot be quite sure how they are going to gel."

Nonetheless, there are teams that Borkowski believes will be difficult to play against. And Borkowski said: "I have heard good reports about Chicago and Michigan and I expect them to be very strong.”

Borkowski has a good record of winning titles, having won the WPSL twice and the Open Cup once. But he said: "I don’t think there’s one recipe or one style of play that will get you in a position to challenge for titles. You have to go about it in the best way you see fit and whatever suits the players at your disposal."

"There won’t be an easy game this season," Borkowski concluded. "I think the league and our division will be a really tough - hard and wonderful to compete in."
