2012 US Open Cup First Round: Des Moines Menace defeat Milwaukee Bavarians in game that didn’t want to end

May 16, 2012 by Nicole Haase

The game was delayed in starting by 45 minutes due to inclement weather and delayed again at halftime for more rain and lightning. It also went into overtime and was delayed when the sprinklers came on before the OT period could begin. But the Menace didn’t let more than four hours at the fields deter them from their goal of advancing in the Open Cup.
