Clarkstown Eagles made the national semifinals of the NPSL playoffs in 2016, but their USOC debut ended in defeat - they lost, 2-1, to Jersey Express in the first round of USOC 2016.
The Eagles are back in the tournament this year, and once again face an opponent from PDL. Reading United is one of the more experienced USOC campaigners in US soccer's amateur ranks: this is the team's ninth straight year in the tournament.
One of four New York/New Jersey teams in this round of the Cup, Clarkstown faces a difficult task to get by a lower-league Cup specialist playing on its home field.
