TAMPA, Fla. – Nineteen USL Championship clubs learned their opponents in the Second Round of the 2019 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup over the past two nights after results that brought together some fascinating matchups featuring teams from both USL League One and League Two that will be looking for the chance to upset their Division II opponents.

The Charleston Battery – who remain the last side outside Major League Soccer to reach the historic tournament’s final in 2008 – got a date with League One’s Greenville Triumph SC next Wednesday night in an all-South Carolina clash that will be held at Greenville’s Legacy Early College. There will also be a familiar matchup at Sahlen’s Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park when North Carolina FC faces the Richmond Kickers, who this past offseason moved to League One from the Championship.

Expansion side El Paso Locomotive FC will host League One’s Forward Madison FC, which has generated a national buzz over its distinctive branding, at Southwest University Park, while Indy Eleven will play host to League One’s Lansing Ignite FC as it makes the trip down from Michigan.

Two-time USL Cup-winner Louisville City FC – which last year advanced to the Quarterfinals of the tournament for its best run in club history – will get the challenge of facing perennial League Two power Reading United AC at Lynn Stadium. The currently undefeated Tampa Bay Rowdies will also meet a strong League Two squad in The Villages SC at Al Lang Stadium, while Memphis 901 FC makes its tournament debut against League Two’s New York Red Bulls U-23 at AutoZone Park.

After leading Cal FC to the tournament’s Fourth Round in 2012 – and upsetting the Portland Timbers along the way – current Las Vegas Lights FC Head Coach Eric Wynalda will welcome his former club to Cashman Field next Tuesday night. The Charlotte Independence, meanwhile, will get to host the side that recorded a major upset in the First Round in the Florida Soccer Warriors after the local qualifier rallied to defeat Miami FC with a dramatic 2-1 win.

The 19 confirmed matchups add to the three all-USL Championship meetings that had previously been set during April’s draw, which included Phoenix Rising FC playing host to current Western Conference leader New Mexico United at Casino Arizona Field, a clash between Austin Bold FC and Tulsa Roughnecks FC at Bold Stadium and a rivalry meeting when Sacramento Republic FC hosts Reno 1868 FC at Papa Murphy’s Park.
