The Swope Park Rangers advanced to the 2016 USL Cup Final with a 3-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 on Saturday night at Swope Soccer Village. Two goals from Kris Tyrpak and a late strike from Dane Kelly saw the Rangers claim their first-ever silverware with the Western Conference Championship.
Vancouver controlled the play early on but it was the Rangers who took the lead in the eighth minute. Ayrton found Christian Duke in the area, and his cross was diverted on goal by Mark Anthony Gonzalez, only for Whitecaps FC 2 goalkeeper Spencer Richey to make a point-blank save.
