Four-goal second half lifts West Chester United over UGH in U.S. Open Cup qualifying

Finn Reese scored a pair of goals and assisted on a third in a four-goal second half to lead West Chester University past United German Hungarians in a second round U.S. Open Cup qualifier at Temple Ambler on Sunday.

The two USL of PA rivals were fairly even in a scoreless first half with both teams creating chances going forward. Predators veteran Chas Wilson had the best chance of the half when he chipped a pass from Thomas King off the crossbar and Reese had a header off a Wilson pass saved by James Brett.

Jason Pixley and Sixtus Akinlosuto looked dangerous attacking the other way but West Chester center back Luca Mellor was up to the task with multiple one v one tackles and key interventions on the day, including a clearance on a dangerous ball from Joe Hansen to Belal Mohamed in the first half.
