2014 US Open Cup qualifying: US Club Soccer’s all-California play-in tournament begins in March

by

US Club Soccer has announced the format of their qualification tournament for the 2014 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup.

Two California leagues and an open collection of teams that registered will make up the single-elimination tournament.

The NorCal Premier League will be holding a play-in tournament that was open to any team interested in signing up, as long as they are a part of a US Soccer-affiliated league. The winner of that mini-tournament will join the NorCal Premier League single-elimination competition and face No. 6 seed Juventus SC Black 93 to begin play in Mid-March.

The participants and schedule for the play-in competition have yet to be announced.

The top five finishers from last year’s league play, with the exception of 2013 champion Sonoma County Sol who rejoined the NPSL, will make up the remainder of the competition. No. 3 seed Vacaville United Elite will play the winner of the mini-tournament and Juventus SC Black 93, while 4-seed Oakland Ambassadors FC will take on No. 5 San Ramon Soccer Azuri.

Waiting in the semifinals are the two teams that received byes to the final four, DV8 Defenders and Pacific Soccer Academy.

The other league taking part is the SoCal Premier League who are submitting their two teams to the competition. Chivas USA U23s and the Corinthians USA.

“A big reason for setting up the tournament is that we want to grow our adult league,” said NorCal Premier League adult coordinator Mike Kelley. “One of the incentives is if you participate in the fall league, that’s one way to get you into Open Cup qualification.”

The schedule and format for the semifinals have not been finalized, but the first round games are penciled in for Mar. 1 and the championship game that will decide US Club Soccer’s Open Cup entry will take place in a home and away series at the end of April.

2014 will mark the third year that US Club Soccer will take part in the tournament. In 2012, Stanislaus United Turlock Express represented the organization, but fell 2-0 to the Premier Development League’s Fresno Fuego in their opening match. Last year, the Fuego failed to qualify out of the PDL, so they entered and won the US Club Soccer tournament as the “Fresno Fuego Future” and qualified. They lost their opening round game to the NPSL’s FC Hasental 5-3.

2013 US Open Cup qualifying: Doxa Italia eliminates Cal FC, joins PSA Elite as USASA Region IV entries

by

PSA Elite and Doxa Italia booked their spots in the US Open Cup this past weekend, qualifying out of a historically strong USASA Region IV. PSA Elite won the tournament with a perfect 4-0-0 record while Doxa Italia qualified for its second Open Cup with a second-place finish.

After qualifying for the Open Cup in its first attempt last year, PSA Elite made it two-for-two this year with four comfortable wins. They started with a 3-0 victory in a cross-group game against Doxa Italia. Then, eight different players scored in a 10-0 win over The Internationalists. With qualification all but secured, PSA used five goals in 25 minutes to take out DV8 Defenders 9-2.

Already qualified for the Open Cup, PSA Elite took the Region IV title with a 4-1 win over Doxa. The teams had to overcome extreme heat that even resulted in one of the linesmen suffering a heat stroke.

Doxa Italia’s road to its second US Open Cup appearance was much tougher. The format for this year’s tournament involved a cross-group game, with those match-ups being determined by random draw. As luck would have it, Italia drew the strongest team from Group B and fell in that 3-0 loss to PSA Elite.

“The format certainly impacted how we approached the tournament. Because of the tiebreak rules it took a little pressure off the cross-group results and stressed the two pool games we had on Saturday. We have been in tournaments formatted like this in the past and it took a significant amount of time planning the rosters for each match,” said Alex Lujan, PSA Elite owner.

After losing its initial match, Doxa trounced San Francisco City FC 7-0, setting up a “Win & You’re In” game against Cal FC. After a magical Open Cup run last year that involved a victory over MLS side Portland Timbers, Cal FC came into this tournament as favorites. However, Doxa Italia pulled off the 2-1 upset victory, ensuring an Open Cup berth for the club for the first time since 2011.

Bryan Byrne, Doxa Italia player/coach and scorer of both goals against Cal FC, said, “It is a proud feeling to be able to say you are part of such a storied competition. For us, it is what we have been building up to all year and having the opportunity to see Doxa’s name on the list of first round teams is a real honor. But we won’t be happy this year unless we see our name in Round Two also.”

Doxa lost to the Ventura County Fusion in 2011 by a 3-1 scoreline in its only US Open Cup appearance. PSA Elite was more successful in its lone attempt, beating the PDL’s Portland Timbers U23s 3-1 in Round One, then bowing out to the NASL’s Carolina RailHawks 7-0 in Round Two.

“The US Open Cup represents an opportunity to compete against professional and top US amateur teams. We are honored to have another chance to play in this prestigious event,” Lujan said. “This also provides another platform for our players to showcase their talent. Seven players from our 2012 Open Cup roster are now living that dream in the MLS, NASL and USL Pro leagues. We feel confident that we will be able to build on last year’s experiences, make a run and represent USASA Region IV, Cal South & the Coast Soccer League well.”

2013 US Open Cup qualifying: USASA Region I, II, IV and US Club Soccer in action this weekend (with updates)

by

It’s a busy weekend of qualifying for the 100th edition of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, as we head down the home stretch. By Monday morning, the USASA will know five of the six teams that will join Red Force (Florida) and North Texas Rayados in the 2013 US Open Cup. Also, US Club Soccer’s “lights out” semifinal match will be replayed on Sunday to determine who will play the Fresno Fuego Future in a “Win & You’re In” match the following weekend.

Here is a breakdown of this weekend’s games, and as always you can check Twitter (@USOpenCup) for updates, and remember if you’re at any of these games or have any Open Cup-related news/info/comments to make, be sure to use this year’s hashtag #USOC100.

FRIDAY

USASA Region IV Tournament
DAY 1: Friday, April 19
Ontario Soccer Park – Ontario, CA

PSA Elite 3:0 Doxa Italia
DV8 Defenders 8:2 The Internationalists
Cal FC 12:3 San Francisco City FC

It was a high-scoring opening day of the USASA Region IV tournament, as the trend of barn-burners and blowouts continue. With many teams having been burned by goal difference tiebreakers in the past, a recent tradition of running up the score has been established and ehas continued into 2013. Cal FC dropped a dozen goals on newcomers San Francisco City in their quest to qualify for the second straight year, and attempt to provide an encore to one of last year’s biggest Cinderella stories. 2011 qualifiers DV8 Defenders missed the cut last year and started their campaign to represent the Bay Area once again with a convincing 8-2 win over The Internationalists. While the most competitive match of the day was still a 3-0 shutout with PSA Elite taking out Doxa Italia. Although, with head-to-head likely the first tiebreaker in the group, and PSA Elite competing in the other group, Doxa Italia still has hope of qualifying just like they did in 2011 as long as they win both of their games on Saturday. Clearly, that will be no easy task as they must play Cal FC and DV8 Defenders.

SATURDAY

USASA Region II Semifinals (Win & You’re In)
Saturday, April 20 – 3 p.m.

FC Indiana 1:2 (AET) RWB Adria

When the dust settled out west on Saturday evening, two teams punched their ticket to the 2013 US Open Cup. PSA Elite cruised to three straight wins, outscoring its opponents 22-3, en route to a Group B win and their second straight trip to the Open Cup. Fellow Southern California club, Doxa Italia, overcame a 3-0 loss to PSA Elite in the opening game and clinched their second Open Cup berth in three years. Doxa emerged from Group A despite their loss to Group B champion PSA by defeating the two clubs in their group, newcomers San Francisco City (7-0), followed by a winner-take-all game against last year’s Cinderella story Cal FC. Doxa defeated Cal FC 2-1 in the final game as the two clubs finished tied atop the group standings, with Doxa Italia moving on to the championship game by way of the head-to-head tiebreaker. PSA Elite and Doxa Italia have both clinched their spot in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, they will meet again in the Region IV title game on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. local time) to determine who will represent the region at the USASA National Finals.

Cal FC returns as USASA Region IV tourney features six California teams (Updates)

Results/Updated Standings below (4/21/13 – 11:45 p.m. ET)

Check for updates on Twitter @USOpenCup and the hashtag #USOC100

For the second year in a row, the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) Region IV Open Cup qualifying tournament will be an all-California affair. Six teams — four from California South, two from California North — will battle for two spots in the 100th edition of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in Ontario, Calif. the weekend of April 19-21.

The headliners of this year’s competition are the two teams that qualified for the Open Cup last year, PSA Elite and one of 2012’s biggest Cinderella stories, Cal FC. Both teams will attempt to become the first California team to qualify in back-to-back seasons since the Fresno-based Mexico SC made the tournament in 2001 and 2002. Also returning are The Internationalists, and 2011 qualifiers Doxa Italia and DV8 Defenders. The lone newcomer in the competition is San Francisco City FC.

The question entering this year’s qualifying tournament is what can Cal FC do for an encore? Last year, the Southern California-based club swept through Region IV qualifying and qualified for the US Open Cup in their first-ever attempt. They began their inaugural cup run with a 3-1 win over the Kitsap Pumas (PDL), but got the nation’s attention when they traveled across the country to thrash the Wilmington Hammerheads (USL Pro) 5-0. The following round, they shocked the world by not only becoming the first USASA team to score a goal against a Major League Soccer team, but they became the first to defeat one, eliminating the Portland Timbers 1-0 in extra time in front of a stunned crowd at Jeld-Wen Field. The little-known club, led by their manager, former US international Eric Wynalda, found themselves trending worldwide on Twitter that night and on to the Fourth Round. Their run would end there with a 5-0 loss to the Seattle Sounders.

The PSA Elite qualified last year in their first attempt, and this year they will try to go two-for-two. Just like Cal FC, they also won their first Open Cup game against a strong PDL team by the score of 3-1. PSA eliminated the Portland Timbers U23s and just like Cal FC, they had to travel across the country to play a team from North Carolina in Round 2. The NASL’s Carolina RailHawks ended their run, however, by the score of 7-0.

Doxa Italia will make their fourth straight appearance in the Region IV tournament and will attempt to qualify again as they did in 2011. That same year, DV8 Defenders from Redwood City in the Bay Area qualified for the Open Cup in their first attempt. Both teams were one-and-done against PDL teams on the road with the Defenders falling 5-0 at Colorado Foxes and Doxa losing to the Ventura County Fusion 3-1.

The Internationalists failed to qualify in their first attempt last year, losing both of their games by a combined score of 15-0. They lost 8-0 to Doxa Italia and 7-0 to Cal FC. The Region IV tournament, because it uses goal difference and goals scored as tiebreakers, often sees high-scoring matches. Many Open Cup berths in recent years have come down to tiebreakers so teams rarely take any chances. The Internationalists will hope to be more competitive in the second year in the competition.

Eric Wynalda’s Cal FC joins PSA Elite from Region IV to complete 2012 US Open Cup field

For the first time in the Modern Pro Era (1995-present), two Southern California teams have qualified for the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup from USASA’s Region IV. Cal FC, led by their manager, former US international Eric Wynalda, and PSA Elite from Irvine, Calif., emerged as group winners in the Region IV qualifying tournament to punch their tickets to the 99th edition of the Open Cup.

Region IV received permission from the United States Soccer Federation to hold their tournament a week after the qualifying deadline. After Cal FC and PSA Elite qualified, the USSF held a coin flip to determine who each team would play in Round 1 on May 15. The coin flip determined that Cal FC will travel to Bremerton, Wash to take on the PDL’s Kitsap Pumas while the Portland Timbers U23s will host the PSA Elite at Jeld-Wen Field.

Cal FC only needed to win two games to win their group to get in after EP Elite from El Paso, Texas (representing New Mexico) failing to show and forfeiting their three games. What turned out to be one of the best games of the weekend, they started off with a 4-3 win over Doxa Italia on Friday. It looked like it was going to be a one-sided affair as Cal jumped out to a 3-0 halftime lead, and then added a penalty kick after the break to make it 4-0. Doxa refused to roll over as they got goals from Kyle Holland and then a 45-yard blast from Alex Bengard and then a third to cut the lead to 4-3 but Cal was able to hold on despite multiple injuries in the second half.

Wynalda would tweet after the game: “Well done to Doxa for fighting back. We got out of there with our lives.”

It would be much easier in the second game as Cal cruised to a 7-0 win over The Internationalists from the Los Angeles area to punch their ticket. For Wynalda, it will mark the first time he has been involved in the Open Cup since he was a player and scored the only two Open Cup goals of his career during the 2001 tournament while helping the Chicago Fire reach the Semifinals.

In the other group, it was a strong defensive performance by PSA Elite that put them into the tournament for the first time. They did not allow a single goal in their three group matches. They defeated 2011 Open Cup qualifier DV8 Defenders, 3-0 to kick off group play, followed by a 6-0 win over the Pittsburg Galaxy setting up a final game with OC Crew. PSA only needed a draw to advance, and that’s exactly what they got, finishing 0-0 to edge DV8 Defenders, who rebounded with back-to-back wins to finish one point back in second place.

Cal FC and PSA Elite squared off in the championship game, and PSA came away with a 2-0 win. Eight minutes after Cal missed a penalty kick, former MLS player Mike Randolph was shown a red card in the first half and the Elite took advantage with goals by Andrew Riemer in the 63rd minute and Christian Ramirez in the 83rd. (Full recap by fellow NASR member Scott French at ESPN LA). In addition to their first trip to the US Open Cup, PSA will represent Region IV at the USASA Nationals at Toyota Park, July 20-22.

Upcoming Open Cup schedules:

PSA Elite (USASA) at Portland Timbers U-23s (PDL)
Jeld-Wen Field; Portland, Ore. – 7:30 p.m. PT
The Timbers PDL square are making their first appearance in the US Open Cup after missing out last year despite finishing qualifying with an undefeated record (3-0-1). Rather than going through a tiebreaker, they decided to have the Kitsap Pumas and the Timbers U23s use their regular season game on double as a play-in game. Kitsap Pumas won the game 3-2. PSA Elite are making their first appearance in the tournament after emerging from the USASA Region IV tournament.

Cal FC (USASA) at Kitsap Pumas (PDL)
Bremerton Memorial Stadium; Bremerton, Wash. – 7:15 p.m. PT
This is the fourth consecutive year that Kitsap will kick off the tournament at home. USASA Region IV qualifier Cal FC are led by a mix of young players and former professional players and their manager, former US international Eric Wynalda.

2012 US Open Cup qualifying: Seven California teams, ‘New Mexico’ rep to battle in USASA Region IV tourney

by

A California-dominated group of eight teams will battle for two spots in the 2012 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in this year’s USASA Region IV tournament. Seven of the eight teams hail from California with the eighth coming all the way from El Paso, Texas, and representing the state of New Mexico (we’ll explain later). The tournament begins with two groups of four playing a round robin with each group winner advancing to the First Round of the US Open Cup, which is scheduled to begin May 15.

The Region IV tournament will take place May 4-6 in Ontario, Calif., a week past the Open Cup qualifying deadline, but Mike Maloney, the region’s cup commissioner received permission from the United States Soccer Federation. Maloney cited scheduling challenges with the teams involved because of the federation’s decision to move the start date for the Open Cup from the first week of June to May 15.

Six of the eight teams are entering the tournament for the first time, with last year’s two Open Cup qualifiers returning. DV8 Defenders, a first-time entry last year and Doxa Italia, who will be competing for their fourth year in a row will look to qualify for the second straight year. Only three clubs have ever qualified in back-to-back years out of Region IV: Arizona Sahuaros (2008-11), Mexico SC (1999-2002), Sonoma County Sol (2005-06).

The teams that advance to the Open Cup will play away from home in the opening round, as was determined by the recent unveiling of the Round 1 matchups.  One group winner will play at Jeld-Wen Field against the Portland Timbers U23s, while the other will play in Bremerton, Wash. against the Kitsap Pumas who are playing in a record fourth straight Open Cup. Who will play where will likely be determined by geography.

Here are the teams that will be competing, followed by the schedule:

Cal Football Club (California South)

Being a USASA team in the greater Los Angeles area is nothing new. Having Eric Wynalda as your head coach and technical director changes things, however. It means that when your local league team holds a tryout, the level of quality talent living in the area that comes out is unlike any other city. “This team is mainly formed from players in this local area –Thousand Oaks – that went to college and came back,” said team manager and president Michael Friedman. “Then we held a tryout recently and the players that came out surprised us. The talent is really high. Eric put all of his resources to work to put this together.” Players like Danny Barrera and Mike Randolph are among a group that have recently played or trained with MLS clubs that could be in the mix for the regional tournament along with a few players from Mercialagos, a lower division Mexican club. Though the squad is undergoing a makeover that is an ongoing process, with talent coming in via the exceptional sources of Wynalda, this one-year old club could very well be making headlines in June.

Doxa Italia (California South)

This Orange County-based club is the most experienced team in the field, in terms of participation in the USASA Region IV tournament. This is the fourth year in a row that Doxa Italia has entered, and are looking to replicate last year’s performance where they qualified for the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup for the first time under the name “Doxa Italia.” They fell short in their Open Cup debut, losing 3-1 to the Ventura County Fusion of the PDL in the First Round. They formed in 1997, and later merged with the club Hollywood United in 2008. The two clubs, under the name Hollywood United, qualified for the Open Cup and combined for an historic First Round upset, eliminating the Portland Timbers (USL First Division – 2nd Division), 3-2. The merger was short-lived as Hollywood United pulled out to join the PDL, leaving the players and coaches to fend for themselves. Player/manager Derek Droze took a leadership position with the club and they pressed on under the name Doxa Italia.

This year, Doxa is competing in the Coast Soccer League, as well as the Los Angeles-based Angels Confrontational League. They are currently in first place in the CSL with two league games to play. One of those games is on April 22 against second place PSA Elite, a fellow Region IV entry. They finished runner-up in the ACL, losing the final game in overtime, 2-1.

OC Crew (California South)

OC Crew is another Orange County team that competes in the United Premier Soccer League. Last year, they played an exhibition schedule in the UPSL and finished undefeated, and early on in league play this year, they remain undefeated. Owner Robert Rake is very confident of his team’s chances, saying many of his players are ready to play at the next level and would match up very well against Major League Soccer opposition. First things first, they have to win their group which includes 2011 qualifier DV8 Defenders.

PSA Elite (California South)

PSA Elite plays in the Premier Division of the Coast Soccer League, based in Orange and eastern Los Angeles counties. PSA, based in Irvine, are league rivals with fellow qualifier Doxa Italia, and are looking to qualify for the Open Cup for the first time, much like the retooled Doxa did last year. Elite has proven to live up to their name in league play, capturing the championship three times since the 2006-07 season (2006-07, 2007-08, 2010-11), and finishing second to Italia in 2008-09 and 2009-10.

The Internationalists (Los Angeles Metro League)

The Internationalists, founded in 1992 as Arroyo ’92, play in the Los Angeles Metro League, after their former league (the Arcadia International Soccer League) folded in 2009. They had an excellent run through the Arcadia league in their 17 years, then won the LA Metro League’s Super Metro (top flight) division in their second year in the circuit. One of the key players on the team is former Galaxy player Ryan Shaw, and many players have played internationally or in the PDL. This will be their first time entering in the Open Cup qualifiers.

Pittsburg Galaxy FC (American National Soccer League)

The Galaxy were founded in 2006 and are based in Pittsburg, Calif., located just northeast of Oakland. They are the lone representative from the American National Soccer League (ANSL). They feature a strong attack with El Salvadorian striker Jorge Ruiz and former MLS player Julian Nash. Ruiz led the ANSL in scoring last year, and Nash, an Oakland native, played for the San Jose Earthquakes and Houston Dynamo from 2005-07. Nash’s claim to Open Cup fame was in 2004 when he finished as the tournament’s top scorer as a member of the PDL’s Chicago Fire Reserves. He remains the only amateur player in the Modern Pro Era (1995-present) to win the scoring title outright.

EP Elite (New Mexico)

The El Paso Elite seems like a strange team name for a club representing the state of New Mexico, but it’s true. The El Paso, Texas-based club was given permission to compete in Region IV (Texas is Region III) due to the fact that El Paso is located so far away from the rest of the teams in their state. El Paso is located right next to the border of Texas and New Mexico, and they often compete in New Mexico-based competitions, so permission was given.

DV8 Defenders (California North)

The tournament’s other representative from Northern California, the Defenders are aiming to qualify for the US Open Cup like they did last year in their first attempt. Their run was short-lived, losing a road game at the PDL’s Real Colorado Foxes, 5-0, in the First Round. The team was founded in 1999 and competes in the Peninsula Soccer League, which is mostly made up of college-aged players. [+] MORE: 2011 Meet the USASA: DV8 Defenders

THIRD ROUND

Real Colorado Foxes / Kitsap Pumas at Seattle Sounders
June 29, 10 p.m. ET  Starfire Sports Stadium; Tukwila, Wash.

Real Colorado Foxes

Founded in 2008, the PDL team was created by the Real Colorado youth soccer club, which already operated a W-League team. The Foxes were successful, reaching the postseason in its debut 2009 PDL campaign. The nickname is a tribute to the Colorado Foxes that won back-to-back titles (1992-93) as they reached three straight finals (1994) in the A-League. The Foxes were coached in the late 80’s and early 90’s by Lorne Donaldson, the President of Real Colorado and GM/Assistant Coach of the PDL team.

Path to Open Cup: In the end, the Foxes needed a little help despite finishing with four victories in their campaign as the Des Moines Menace, the only club they didn’t play, kept pace with a 3-0 start themselves. Thankfully, Kansas City shocked their long-time rivals 2-1, sending Real Colorado through. The Foxes opened at home with a pair of wins against the same Brass side. They posted a 4-1 win with Kyle Christensen putting in a pair for the first win. Joey Madison set up the first two and had the game-winner in the second game as the club held off a late rally for a 3-2 victory. On the road, Taylor Kemp rallied the Foxes to a 3-1 win in Springfield with a goal and an assist while Julian Donaldson was the hero in the finale with both strikes in a 2-1 win at St Louis.

First Round: Real Colorado Foxes (PDL) 5:0 DV8 Defenders (USASA)
The Colorado club had a fairly easy go of it in their tournament debut in the First Round Tuesday with three goals from Taylor Kemp, Isaiah Schafer and Kyle Christensen before the break for a commanding advantage. Sterling Copeland and Craig Thompson made it five different goal scorers on the night. Recap [+]

League form: The Foxes were idle this week in league play and are 7-0-1 in the PDL Heartland Division.

Open Cup History: First appearance in the tournament. PRO ERA RECORD: 1-0-0 overall

Kitsap Pumas

Founded in 2009 by a former co-owner of the USL Seattle Sounders, the Pumas have been a dominant force playing as a professional side in the PDL, reaching the postseason in its first two years.

Path to Open Cup: For the third consecutive year it was a neck-and-neck race with Portland. This year’s berth came down to a complete deadlock on all tiebreakers, however, with the two sides having played to a scoreless draw in their lone meeting. Instead of using a lottery, the two clubs and league office agreed to use an unprecedented ‘fifth match’ to serve as the tiebreaker as they were scheduled to meet in the regular season the Friday after qualifying concluded. Kitsap opened with a 3-0 victory at home versus Crossfire with Warlen Silva providing a goal and assist. A week later they played to the stalemate against the Timbers. On the final qualifying weekend the Pumas won 6-1 at Tacoma with Matt Friesen scoring twice, They finished with Friesen scoring in a 1-0 win at North Sound, leaving them vulnerable to Portland’s result, however, the Timbers only managed a 2-0 win later that night, creating the table deadlock.  In the tiebreaker match Kitsap jumped to a two-goal lead via Robbie Christner and Nik Besagno only to see Portland fight back in a thriller. A Brent Richards goal cut the deficit, but Christner added a second in the 66th to restore the lead before Brian Burke was sent off, allowing the hosts to make a late charge in hopes of penalties only to come up short, 3-2.

First Round: Kitsap Pumas (PDL) 0:0 (6:5 in PKs) El Paso Patriots (PDL)
The Pumas battled with host El Paso in the hot Texas summer to a scoreless stalemate over 120 minutes in the First Round Tuesday. Penalties to break the tie also went into extra time as the match needed nine rounds to decide a winner with Kitsap coming out on top 6-5. Recap [+]

League form: The Pumas returned to league action Friday with a 4-1 win over visiting Abbotsford. Brian Burke tallied to give the lead to Kitsap, who saw goalkeeping star Zach Lubin from Tuesday sent off in the 72nd. Abbotsford then leveled before the Pumas tallied two unanswered from Nick Besagno and Matt Friesen shorthanded. The team is 8-0-1 in the PDL Northwest Division.

Open Cup History: The Pumas have yet to miss the tournament in three years of play, making them the first PDL team to qualify in each of their first three years. Only two other teams have accomplished that They’ve been haunted by the senior Portland Timbers club who have knocked them out twice as a member of the second division. They were blanked 3-0 in the first round of the 2009 tournament and downed 4-1 last year in the second round with Nik Besagno scoring the team’s lone goal. They opened with a 4-2 overtime win against the Bay Area Ambassadors (USASA/NPSL).
PRO ERA RECORDS: 2-2-0 overall | 1-0-0 vs. Amateur Teams (0-0-0 vs. PDL)

Seattle Sounders

How They Qualified: Automatic entrant from top six MLS finish in 2010.

This Month in MLS: The Sounders played their third match of the month Saturday in Toronto, edging the hosts on a 90th free kick from Fredy Montero after playing nearly the entire second half down a man after Jhon Kennedy Hurtado’s send-off. They are now returning home for two more league matches June 23 versus New York and June 26 against New England before playing in the Third Round. Seattle opened the month with a scoreless draw in Chicago June 4 with Keller in goal and played a 2-2 stalemate at home against Northwest rival Vancouver Whitecaps June 11. Seattle saw the Whitecaps steal the draw after the Sounders had rallied to take the lead on goals from Mauro Rosales and Osvaldo Alonso in a wild finish.
Last Five: W-D-D-W-L | Season Record: 6-4-7 (3-2-3 Home), Third in Western Conference, Third Overall.

Open Cup History: Sounders FC set out to become a force in the Open Cup during their 2009 inaugural year, and did just that, becoming the first expansion team since Chicago Fire in 1998 to take the Cup, winning 2-1 against DC United. They then turned around and made more history in 2010, as they became the first team since the New York Pancyprian Freedoms in 1982 and 1983 to win back-to-back Open Cups, taking the Columbus Crew 2-1 in the Final. Seattle has earned both titles, only playing non-MLS opposition twice (defeating the Portland Timbers in the Third Round both years), marking the first time the team has played a non-first or second division side. A matchup against the Kitsap Pumas would have additional intrigue, as the Pumas are the continuation of the USL Seattle Sounders, and both teams share deep bloodlines.
PRO ERA RECORDS: 7-0-1 (1-0 in PKs) overall | 2-0-0 vs. Non-MLS Teams (0-0-0 vs. PDL)

Note: A USL team also called the Seattle Sounders made 12 Open Cup appearances from 1995-2008 and made history with back-to-back trips to the Semifinals in 2007 and 2008. The USL franchise’s history is officially not recognized by the MLS franchise.

ELIMINATED TEAMS

DV8 Defenders

Founded in 1997, the San Francisco Bay area club plays in the local Peninsula Soccer League, where the team has won several championships, including a perfect 2006-07 campaign in the PSL. || Meet the USASA Feature [+]

Path to Open Cup: The Defenders opened the Region IV tournament with a 9-0 victory over the CV Eagles and the following morning they blanked SF Italian SC 2-0. Needing a draw against Metro FC, who could also win the group, the Defenders drew level with seconds remaining on a controversial penalty call, earning a 2-2 draw and the US Open Cup berth. In the Region IV Final, DV8 took the early lead but saw Doxa Italia level with 15 minutes left as the two would go to a penalty shootout in which Doxa Italia took the title 4-1.

June News Updates: Played a friendly versus San Jose Earthquakes June 8, falling 2-0 but had two penalty kick saves to keep it close… The Defenders have been primarily idle in June after finishing fourth in the Peninsula Soccer League’s Majors Division that ended in April. The club’s other team, DV8 Elite, finished second in the same league.

Open Cup History: First appearance in the tournament.

Chivas El Paso Patriots

One of the oldest clubs in USL, the Patriots were founded in 1989 and have played at all levels of USL. It left the professional second division flight to enter the PDL and immediately found success, finishing first in the division in the first two years and reaching the league final in 2005. The club, however, has missed the playoffs four of the last five seasons. The club took on its Chivas branding following a formal affiliation agreement with the Guadalajara club signed prior to the 2010 season.

Path to Open Cup: The Patriots swept through qualifying and were one of the first teams to clinch a berth. The club opened at RGV with a 2-1 win, coming from behind on goals from Victor Olivarez and Ariel Chavez. The following night in Laredo, Rodrigo Morin scored a critical strike in the 80th minute for a 1-0 win. El Paso’s victory 3-1 win over New Orleans in the next match, in which Morin provided a goal and assist, sealed the berth courtesy of their head-to-head tiebreaker result versus Laredo. For good measure though, Morin capped the sweep with the lone goal in the 1-0 finale against Baton Rouge as Jorge Muniz posted a second clean sheet.

June News Updates: The Patriots returned home for a 1-0 win June 11 against West Texas on a fourth minute Omar Tena goal, holding on after a 41st minute Enrique Cervantes send-off with a shutout from Jorge Muniz… The Patriots suffered their second loss on the trip, falling 6-2 to RGV Grandes June 4 with Rodrigo Morin, who was also sent off at the end of the match, and Jorge Arjona scoring… Handed their second loss of the campaign June 3 at Laredo, falling 3-0 in first match they have been shutout in through seven games despite playing with man advantage for 60 minutes.

Open Cup History: The Patriots were among the first professional teams to enter the tournament to kick off the Pro Era in 1995. The club upset second division Colorado Foxes, 2-0, and Seattle Sounders, 1-0, en route to the championship game. The Patriots were the last non-MLS club to host the Open Cup Final (excluding neutral sites), but were unable to hoist the trophy, falling in penalties 4-2 after playing to a 1-1 draw against the PDL Richmond Kickers. The Foxes avenged their upset the following year by knocking El Paso out, 5-1, in the second round. The club became the victim of an upset themselves while playing in the second division, falling 5-2 in 2003 to the PDL Fresno Fuego in the third round. As a PDL team themselves though, the Patriots upset second division Miami FC via penalties after a 2-2 first round draw in 2007. El Paso topped USASA entrant Arizona Suahauros, 2-1, to open the 2009 tournament, but were knocked out, 2-0, by the second division Austin Aztex (now Orlando City SC).

2011 US Open Cup First Round: Foxes get sly in 5-0 win over DV8 Defenders

by

The PDL’s Real Colorado Foxes started off hot early and scorched the USASA’s DV8 Defenders of California 5-0. Five different players netted goals that helped the team advance to the Second Round in their first-ever trip to the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup.

While unable to find the net in the first third of the game, the Foxes controlled possession early, becoming a sign of things to come. Taylor Kemp opened the scoring with a volley in the 33rd minute, followed shortly by Isaiah Schafer knocking one in at 37′. Kyle Christensen then started the rout with another goal in the 42nd minute.

2011 Meet the USASA: DV8 Defenders from Redwood City, CA

by

Welcome to our continuing series of Meet the USASA features where we annually profile the clubs representing the United States Adult Soccer Association in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Advancing from the four regional tournaments, these often unknown clubs have great stories to tell and each year, our goal is to allow fans to get to know them as they attempt to become this year’s Cinderella story. Click here for more Meet the USASA stories.

Dreams really do come true. Just ask Tono Aspinall, the manager of the DV8 Defenders from Redwood City, CA, as he works on the final details of his team’s first-ever appearance in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

“We did not really know what to expect when we entered the qualification tournament in Sacramento (last May),” said Aspinall speaking pitchside as he watched his team battle MLS’s San Jose Earthquakes reserve squad. “But when we won our group, I couldn’t believe it had become a reality. For us, being able to qualify and move on to the Open Cup for the first time ever is great.”

Manager Tono Aspinall and goalkeeper Matt Grosey with the Region IV finalists trophy

Earning the right to represent Region IV of the USASA has already opened doors for the club that didn’t exist as the year began. Being invited to play the Quakes reserves as a tune-up for the DV8 Defenders first round match against Real Colorado Foxes (June 14th, Shea Stadium, Highland Ranch, CO) was just one example of how much the profile of the club has grown in the last few weeks.

“I don’t know if it is nerves, but hopefully our guys will settle into the match,” said Aspinall as his dark-blue clad side played cautiously to start the match. “Just having this opportunity to recognize our squad and to continue our growth into an elite team in the Bay Area, more kids will see that we play a good brand of soccer.

While the Defenders were able to turn their nervousness into positive play, an Earthquakes side that featured a mix of starters, trialists and academy players eventually triumphed 2-0 over the amateur team. However, they rarely backed down against the professionals, and even saw their star in the making put in another great performance. Goalkeeper Matt Grosey, a student at West Valley Community College in nearby Cupertino, saved not one, but two penalty kicks against Quakes forwards Scott Sealy and Matt Luzunaris.

“Our goalkeeper is the youngest player on the field and he is also our team captain,” shared Aspinall. “He’s probably our best player and I hope one day that he goes pro. The kid just turned 19 years old, but he’s already a phenomenal player.”

The age and circumstances of Grosey highlight what the DV8 club philosophy is all about. The team on the field against the Earthquakes reserves, and the team that will travel to Colorado for their first round Open Cup match on June 14, has an average age of just over 22-years old. Most of the players have some college experience, but for some just the chance to play soccer regularly must be balanced with real life situations that can often put playing the sport on the back burner.

“Some of these kids do not come from privileged backgrounds and the ability to go to Division I schools,” explained Aspinall when asked where he finds his players. “They are really talented from a soccer perspective, so what we are trying to do, especially in Redwood City is to get them more exposure. If we can give them the environment to play and develop further, then maybe the right opportunity comes along and they get the chance to play professionally.”

Founded in 1999, DV8 Soccer fields teams in the local amateur Peninsula Soccer League made up of primarily college-aged players and a few in their early 20’s. The mission of the club from the beginning has been to give local players with aspirations to play soccer on the biggest stage the chance to build their reputations and skills. The program has found some recent success in that regard with two players moving on to opportunities to play abroad. Team manager Eduar Mafla has successfully transferred one player to a Bulgarian team and another to a Mexican team in the last 12 months. Both he and Aspinall expect that others on the squad are very close to having some of the same chances to step up to the next level in their careers.

“It’s great to win games and progress, but what we are really trying to do is give these kids a great environment to play soccer and develop their skills,” said Aspinall. “They might not have been noticed before, but we want to help get them into professional soccer.”

While still an amateur side playing locally in the Peninsula Soccer League, Aspinall has aspirations to expose his players to more talented opponents, starting in the NorCal Senior Premier League and eventually in the PDL. The move to play in the NorCal league comes as DV8 has joined in a partnership with Juventus Sport Club of Redwood City to help them make the transition away from just being a Bay Area club. Many of the current players on the DV8 roster played in the Juventus system and so a natural connection between the two organizations helped the partnership develop.

But first is the grand opportunity to compete in the nation’s oldest soccer tournament, the U.S. Open Cup, and Aspinall is busily finishing preparations for the DV8 Defenders most meaningful match in their history.

“Anything is possible in soccer and we have been training very hard to get ready for the match and the altitude,” said Aspinall. “We are taking our full 18 man club and we’ll arrive the same day as the game so that we hopefully will be fresh, but it will definitely be a challenge, and I expect we’ll have some tired legs before the match is over.”

Emerge from the match with Real Colorado Foxes as the victor and the Defenders will again head out on the road for a second round match in either Washington or Texas. Given that the club has only in May played outside of the Bay Area, DV8 will enjoy every moment of their U.S. Open Cup experience and continue living their dream.
