First Round - June 2, 2004
Chico State University - Chico, California
Chico Rooks 1 2 Boulder Rapids Reserves
Chris Wondolowski 69' 71' Kyle Brown
    74' Brett Branan

    With both teams sluggish from their league schedules, the Boulder Rapids Reserves pulled out a 2-1 win over the MPSL Chico Rooks. The tired nature of both squads was evident though much of the game, as neither team broke the 0-0 tie until late in the game. In the 70th minute, the Rooks Chris Wondolowski  scored after Rapids Reserve goalkeeper Sean Crowe slipped on a pass to Wondolowski, and the Rooks player managed to stay with the ball and slip it past the recovered Crowe and other Rapids defenders. Boulder quickly answered back, as Brett Branan scored off a deflected pass from Aaron King. Two minutes later Kyle Brown scored the game winner off of a corner kick. The Rooks nearly sent the match into extra time, as Wondolowski's shot from 15 yards out in stoppage time hit the right post and went out of play.
