The Harrisburg City Islanders opened up their first-ever US Open Cup campaign with a convincing 4-0 win over Washington DC-based USASA club Aegean Hawks. After half-hour, play was stopped due to lightning in the area, and a delay of almost 90 minutes followed. When the game was allowed to continue just before 9:30 p.m., both teams played the remaining fifteen minutes and finished the first half scoreless.
