2007 First Round: City Islanders shoot down Aegean Hawks in Cup debut
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.

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.
