US Open Cup Quarterfinal Results
The quarterfinals of the US Open Cup were played last night with no real surprises. Only one USL team is left and that is the Rochester Rhinos who defeated the Wilmington Hammerheads 2-1. The Hammerheads are a USL-2 team as was the Harrisburg City Islanders who where also ousted from the tournament last night by DC United again by a score of 2-1.
Because Rochester is the last USL-1 team to survive they win a prize purse of $10,000.00. Wilmington and Harrisburg both went out in the same round but were the last two surviving USL-2 teams. So they will split the $10,000.00 awarded to the surviving USL-2 team.
Rochester will now travel to Boyds, MD to play DC United and the Houston Dynamo will make their way to the Starfire Soccer Complex in Tukwila, WA to play the Sounders.
The semifinals will be played out on July 21, 2009 with the final on September 1, 2009
