Cody Reinberg And Harrisburg City Islanders Surprise NE Revolution

Congratulations to Drury grad Cody Reinberg who was part of the upset win over the MLS New England Revolution in the US Open Cup last night.

Geoff Bloes’ sitter with time winding down in the first overtime — off a David Schofield corner that fluttered off goalkeeper Brad Knighton’s fingers — lifted the Harrisburg City Islanders to a 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup round-of-16 action Tuesday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium in New Britain, Conn.

Moffat Oduor also connected for the USL Second Division leaders, nodding in a Jason Pelletier restart that pulled Harrisburg even in the 67th minute. Jeff Larentowicz buried a 19-yard direct in the 38th minute, staking the Major League Soccer side to a 1-0 halftime lead.

It was a game with several twists and turns but wasn’t the only upset of the evening. The underdogs of the USL ruled the day in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Third Round on Tuesday night, taking four of the six matches, and assuring themselves of at least one team in the semifinals.
