CHICAGO (May 10, 2018) - The First Round of the 2018 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup provided plenty of drama Wednesday as 26 amateur teams advanced in their quest to win the 105th edition of the historic tournament. The victorious amateur sides will now be joined by professional Division II clubs in the competition's Second Round to be played on Wednesday, May 16.
It was a good night for National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) clubs as 12 of the league's teams made it through to the next round - well more than the eight that made it a year ago.
