The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup trophy stands centered on a pedestal, with a blurred stadium background behind it, representing the prize in U.S. soccer’s oldest national competition.

And Now They Know...

A cold weeknight in Vermont. A hostile, beautiful little ground. A wall of green behind a team that didn’t blink for 120 minutes. And somewhere in the middle of it, a handful of us from the 914th Infantry, watching it all unfold and realizing this wasn’t going to be easy.

A large coach bus labeled “914th Infantry” and “Westchester Soccer Club” drives along an open road at sunset. Graphics above show Vermont Green FC vs Westchester SC for the U.S. Open Cup at Virtue Field in Burlington, Vermont. A sign reads “Next Stop Burlington, VT,” with a “For the County” flag displayed.

This Is Why We Go: the U.S. Open Cup calls again

Tomorrow, Westchester SC walks into Vermont with something bigger than a fixture list attached to it. This is the U.S. Open Cup. And if you’ve been around this game long enough, you know that means something different.

The Curious Case of Stoppage Time: A Tragedy in Mount Vernon and Salvation at Anfield

Thank You, Soccer County: A Love Letter to Year One of the Infantry and Westchester SC

It’s crazy to think we are done with our first season. From day one, it was inevitable that the long road of the 2025 USL League One season would eventually come to an end, but what a bittersweet season it has been. And yes, we did finish last… BUT that doesn’t mean this season was anything short of a resounding success. The Genesis I still remember how this whole shabang began. Please allow me to begin by introducing myself. I’m Devon, I am the Events Director for the 914th
