USL League Two rivals West Chester United and Ocean City Nor’easters will square off in the first round of the 2023 U.S. Open Cup in March.
West Chester United, which earned a berth into the tournament through local qualifying, will host the Nor’easters at YSC Sports on March 21 at 7:30 p.m.
Both teams were in the competition last year for its return after a two-year hiatus. West Chester was knocked out in the first round last year by FC Motown in a replay after their earlier win was vacated by an illegal substitution.
Ocean City fell on penalties at home after a 1-1 draw with Lansdowne Yonkers FC in the first round last year.
