Second Round pairings were made on a geographical basis. If three or more teams/pairings were from the same
proximity, matchups for these teams were made by random selection. Instances where a logical geographic fit did not
exist were resolved by random selection. Home teams for each round are determined by random selection among those
who apply to host.

The Second Round winners will move on to the Third Round (April 15-16), where they will be pitted against 16 Division II
professional teams from the USL Championship.
