Finn Reese scored a goal and assisted another to lead West Chester to a convincing 4-0 win over rivals Vereinigung Erzgebirge in the Third Round of qualifying in the U.S. Open Cup at the VE Club Sunday afternoon.
With the win, West Chester advances to the Fourth Round of qualifying where they will face Nova FC of Virginia with the chance to enter the Open Cup proper. On a blustery day where game time temperatures barely crept above 30 degrees, the visitors took advantage of a hot start and never looked back, scoring twice in each half.
West Chester were the livelier team from the start, pushing deep into VE’s back four and creating a number of early chances.
