As if the month of May weren’t already hectic enough with two West Coast trips and three Western Conference opponents, the U.S. Open Cup draw on Thursday added a trip to Orlando to their itinerary.
The Union will visit Exploria Stadium on May 10 for the fourth round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. It will be their second time facing the Lions in the competition after beating them 1-0 in the 2018 quarterfinal.
Of all the scenarios going into Thursday’s draw, the Orlando trip was the worst, head coach Jim Curtin admitted.
“Of all the options, away at Orlando was the one I said would be hardest and that is the one we got,” Curtin said.
