The Lamar Hunt US Open Cup got underway with the first round being played all on May 13th with the final two spots going to the winners of the preliminary rounds which were: Cal FC and Harpo’s FC. With that said there were 21 games played so I’m only going to do a quick score recap and who the winning team is going to play in the second round of the USOC.
Also included will be where the team is from whether they are from: the American Fifth Divisions United States Adult Soccer Association and United States Specialty Sports Association (USASA and USSSA) or the American Fourth Divisions which are the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) and the Premier Development League (PDL).
All winning teams will now move on to face teams from the American Third Division, the United Soccer League (USL), and the games will take place on May 20th unless otherwise noted. Winners will be displayed in bold and the first team listed was the home team.
