   The red-hot Chicago Fire Reserves kept up their sizzling pace, racing pas the New Hampshire Phantoms 5-1. Chicago dominated the flow of the match early on, playing much of the match in the Phantoms half, leading to Julian Nash scoring two goals in the span of ten minutes. The Phantoms didn't help themselves 9 minutes into the second half, as Brian Cullan tried to block a shot, and the ball deflected off his shin and over the head of goalkeeper Mustapha Achab, in for regular goalkeeper Kyle Singer, who was up with the New England Revolution. Cameron Knowles scored off of a  Thabiso Khumalo cross, and Khumalo added one of his own to put Chicago up 5-0. Richard Flemming then scored the Phantoms lone goal at the 84th miunute, scoring off a rebound from the right post.

   The Carolina Dynamo won the battle of former A-League clubs, 4-2, in their 2nd round US Open Cup clash. The Eagles started out fast though, getting 2 quick goals from Jacob Coggins, one of the top scorers in the PSL this season. Coggins first goal was an uncontested shot from 10 yards out, and the second came as the result of a low crossing pass from Jason Hotchkin. The Dynamo then kicked into gear, never to look back. Justin Moose beat Eagles goalkeeper Eric Pattison with a shot from the top of he box to move Carolina to within one. The score was then leveled in the 32rd minute when Tim Merrit took advantage of a defensive breakdown to notch the tying goal, and Stephen Moore put another shot home 5 minutes later to give Carolina the lead for good. Marcus Storey put the came out of reach for the Eagles with a 57th minute goal.

   The Cape Cod Crusaders repeated their efforts from three nights earlier, defeating the Western Mass Pioneers 3-2 in their second round US Open Cup clash. The Crusaders pressured Western Mass right away, forcing two corner kicks in the first seven minutes, but it was the Pioneers who scored first, as Rob Jachym collected the ball as it was tackled away from teammate Emerson Maciel, and put it in for the first goal. The Crusaders quickly recovered eleven minutes later, as Isaac Collings one-timed a shot on goal off of a pass from David Bulow to draw the game even. Jachym struck again for Western Mass, putting a free kick just inside the far post at the 24th minute to put the home site back up, 2-1. Early in the second half, Cape Cod drew even again, when Neil Jones was fouled just inside the penalty area, and David Bulow stepped up and scores from the spot. with 10 minutes left Bulow took advantage of a somewhat confused Pioneers defense, and scored from just outside the box to give the Crusaders a lead they would keep.

    Short two of their top players, the DFW Tornadoes fell to the A-League Virginia Beach Mariners 2-0 at the Sportsplex. With leading goalscorers Lourenzo Andrade out due to a red card suspension, and Jamie Watson with the US U-20 team in South Korea, the Tornados hung on to a 0-0 score in the first half, as the Mariners missed several chances, including a penalty kick. The inconsistent Mariners attack finally broke through right after halftime, with goals from Mark Jonas and Dante Washington, and the Tornadoes could not catch up. Virginia Beach were also without two key players, as Pato Aguliera was training with DC United, and Richard Mahoney stuck in Costa Rica due to visa problems.

   One of the Cinderella stories of the 2003 Open Cup got their 2004 campaign off in a good way, beating the PDL Cocoa Expos 3-0 at Legion Stadium. The road weary Hammerheads, coming off back to back road matches over the weekend, opened the scoring early when Warren Ukah converted off a pass from Joe McNab in the 5th minute. McNab then added one of his own shortly after, taking a through ball from Tim Karalexis, and scoring on a one-on-one showdown with Expos 'keeper Matt Balkanloo. McNab then assisted on the final goal of the day, passing to Glenn Murray, who slotted the ball home off the right goalpost to secure a third round spot for the Hammerheads.

    After 75 minutes of wild action, the Syracuse Salty Dogs and South Jersey Barons were forced to abandon their second round US Open Cup match tied at 1-1. After the game was delayed by lightning for 30 minutes early ion the second half, and halted again at the 75'. With the lack of lighting at thw Winslow High Scholl field, the referee was forced to abandon the match, which will now be replayed on June 21. As for the action on the field, it nearly matched the action of the storm clouds above, as two Syracuse players were sent off, leaving the Salty Dogs to play with 9 men.  Goalkeeper Byron Foss was the first to be sent off, after taking down Barons striker Byron Carmichael in the penalty area with a dangerous tackle. Backup goalkeeper Paul Nagy stepped in to face Neil Holloway's penalty, and initially stopped it, but Holloway put the rebound in anyway to draw the game even at 1-1. Syracuse had earlier taken the lead on a goal from Hungarian forward Cjaba Kerekes. The Salty Dogs were reduced to 9 men when Beninto Kimble was given his second yellow card of the match 4 minutes into the second half. Both Kimble and Foss will have to sit out the replay on June 21. After waiting 30 minutes for the lightning to clear, South Jersey went on full attack, looking for the winning goal, but Syracuse packed in their defense and stopped the Barons, until the referee decided the weather conditions were too dangerous to continue the match.

    Despite jumping out to an early lead, the South Jersey Barons could not re-capture the magic of their first encounter, losing to the Syracuse Salty Dogs 4-2 in their second round US Open Cup replay. Neil Holloway gave the PDL club a 1-0 lead after 22 minutes when he took advantage of a poor clearance by Syracuse goalkeeper Paul Nagy, catching him at the top of the penalty area, and lobbing a shot from midfield over his head for a goal. Just minutes later however, the Barons lost their only lead of the match, when Anthony Maher of Syracuse was fouled in the box, and Rene Rivas slotted home the goal opposite of Barons keeper Pat Hannigan. Four minutes later, Ryan Mack put Syracuse on top for good on a quickly taken free kick, putting the ball home at close range. Syracuse got two more goals in the second half, one from Michael Millwood off a rebound from a  shot saved by Hannigan, and another goal from Ryan Mack. Byron Charmicheal snatched back a consolation goal in the 90th minute for the Barons.

   After driving directly from their previous nights double-overtime match in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the Boulder Rapids Reserve defeated the San Diego Gauchos on penalties, after playing 110 minutes of scoreless soccer. Boulder shook off the affect of the seven-hour drive, and took the game to the Gauchos, forcing San Diego goalkeeper Brandon Hedron to make several spectacular saves. Early in the second half, Boulder forward Alex Salazar struck the crossbar with a shot, and Brian Civilikis was denied in extra time by Hedron when Civilikis got behind the Gaucho defense for a shot. In the penalty session, Rapids Reserve goalkeeper Luis Robles stopped the final Gauchos penalty from Herculez Gomez to give Boulder the win, as all 5 of the Reserves players converted their penalties.
