The Harrisburg City Islanders saw their Open Cup dream snatched away from the other side of the country. Harrisburg did themselves no favors though, losing earlier in the evening to defending PSL Champions Wilmington Hammerheads, 3-1. This left the Islanders as scoreboard watchers, needing San Diego to lose to California later in the night. Their hope was smashed, as Dustin Hammond gave the Guachos all they needed to beat California Gold 1-0, and earn a spot in the US Open Cup.

 

Western Mass and New Hampshire Phantoms also qualified Saturday night. Western Mass beat the Phantoms 2-1, but since Harrisburg City lost to Wilmington, New Hampshire got a reprieve, and qualified themselves.
