Well-traveled Ocean City Nor’easters set sights on fourth round of U.S. Open Cup

Playing close to the ocean is one of the big draws for elite college players spending their summers playing for Premier Development League club Ocean City Nor’easters.

Through four games this season, the players on this year’s Nor’easters roster have yet to play a game at their home venue affectionately known as The Beach House. Two of those games were scheduled road games in league play but the other two road games were the simple luck of the draw in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

As a team, the Nor’easters have already surpassed 2,000 miles of travel with their latest journey to Cary, North Carolina, for tonight’s game against professional USL side North Carolina FC.
