The Union moved onto the Round of 16 in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup with a 3-1 victory against Harrisburg City Islanders. Head Coach Jim Curtin used the match as a way for players who haven't seen many game minutes to do so, and one player who particularly stood out was Marcus Epps.
Epps played as the right attacking midfield in the match, and played well in his 72 minutes, especially in the offensive half of the pitch. In the match, he had 74 percent passing, and was a presence all night on the wings, pushing the attack.
