Was looking at my Fotmob app (highly recommend!) and it looks like Connecticut's own AC Connecticut is playing an opening round match tomorrow vs Virginia Beach City FC. The match is at home which appears to be in Newtown.

From the article it seems like the club was formed in 2012 and in 4 years earned the right to play in the US Open Cup. They finished second in the PDL (Premier Development League) which seems to be the 4th tier (if there are any) in US League Soccer. After MLS, NASL, and USL there seem to be a bunch of amateur leagues that earn bids to the US Open Cup starting in 2014. The PDL seems to be at the top of the Amateur leagues?? Here's the wiki link:

Virginia Beach is from the other top amateur league the NPSL.
Should be interesting to see if they can win a game. If they win they face a USL club.
