Seven MLS sides stumbled on Tuesday in the third round of the 2012 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Some

New England, LA, Chicago, Columbus, FC Dallas, Houston and Real Salt Lake all fell on Tuesday
making this year's third round one of the more exciting rounds in USOC history.

Rochestor Rhinos forward Andrew Hoxie was substituted into the club's match versus the Los
Angeles Blues at halftime to make an impact, and he did not take long to do just that.
Hoxie scored the winner five minutes after entering the scoreless game on Friday night, and he
then helped set up an insurance goal shortly after.

FOURTH ROUND Tuesday, June 5
New England Revolution (MLS) at New York Red Bulls (MLS): Red Bull Arena;
Harrison, N.
The Seattle Sounders' road to a fourth consecutive U.S. Open Cup title may very well end up
going through their archrivals.
Should the Sounders and Portland Timbers each win next week's third-round Open Cup matches, the
two will square off at Jeld-Wen Field in a must-see fourth-round clash.
Since it's a holiday, I'm going to be lazy and post a press release I received from the San
Antonio Scorpions regarding Tuesday night's US Open Cup Match with the Houston Dynamo:
SAN ANTONIO, TX (May 28, 2012) - The San Antonio Scorpions will face off with the two-time Major
League Soccer champion Houston Dynamo in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.
After a strong second half and playing a man down for most of the match, the SA Scorpions FC

(Editor's note: Prior to each Revolution match, New England Soccer Today will invite a
reporter who covers the Revolution's upcoming opponent to provide greater insight on what to expect
on gameday.
The Houston Dynamo will travel roughly 200 miles down I-10 to San Antonio to face the expansion
San Antonio Scorpions of the North American Soccer League (NASL). It's the Dynamo first match in
the 2012 US Open Cup tournament and hopefully won't be there last.
The Scorpions are 4-3-1 so far this season, good enough for third place in the NASL
standings.

In Week 7 the Rochester Rhinos were forced to settle for their first draw of the season. In Week
8, they suffered their first loss.
The Rhinos were defeated by the Harrisburg City Islanders, 1-0, on Friday night at Skyline
Sports Complex courtesy of a second-half goal from Morgan Langley.
MLS teams enter the U.S. Open Cup's third round Tuesday night, and while plenty of regional
bouts headline the night's slate, the non-regional ones carry some of the top story lines.
The Seattle Sounders begin a third straight Open Cup title defense at home against the NASL's
Atlanta Silverbacks.
