Miscues doom DC's run of participation in USOC

BOYDS, Md. ? For the first time since 2002, D.C. United won?t be playing in the US Open Cup.

Tuesday night?s 3-2 loss to the Revolution saw United knocked out in the qualifying phase of the competition, as a trio of defensive miscues went punished by New England. DC fell behind 3-0, and a furious second-half rally came up just short.

This despite controlling play for most of the first half and controlling possession. However, New England made their chances count, punishing three defensive lapses to come away with the win.
