The 2023 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup will have a little extra New Mexico flavor. Not only will New Mexico United be involved in second-round action, it will host another in-state opponent in a match at Rio Rancho High School. Plenty of moving parts came into play for what will ultimately be United's first 'home' appearance of the season. NMU will take on NMSU UDA, an open division amateur squad, for a 7 p.m. match on April 4 at RRHS. Who is NMSU UDA, you ask? The alphabet soup represents a New Mexico State University affliated University Degrees Abroad academy club that plays its home games in Las Cruces.
