Region I quarterfinals complete
Queen City FC and AC United cruise in their first round games
The Region I tournament has reached it’s quarterfinal stage after Sunday’s action. Queen City FC, the NPSL entry from Buffalo, NY, defeated the New Hampshire Phantoms Future 5-0 to gain their first win as a franchise. Queen City will face Rhode Island’s Emigrantes Basilhas in the next round.
In the other game, AC United (MD) eliminated the Ukrainian Nationals (PA) from Open Cup qualifying for the second year in a row. United, who was known as Allied SC last year, knocked off the Nationals in a one-sided affair 7-1. The Nationals held the early advantage after converting a penalty kick, but United equalized quickly, and tacked on two more goals before the halftime break. The floodgates opened in the second half with AC United adding four more scores to put the game out of reach. ACU featured six different goalscorers in a total team effort. The club will now face off against Vereinigung Erzgebirge, the other Pennsylvania-based team, in the quarterfinals.
