FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. – Now in his second season with the team, TJ Presthus of Hartford Athletic was named to the 2026 US Open Cup Team of the Round – First Round. The announcement was made by the U.S. Soccer organization on Wednesday afternoon.
In their U.S. Open Cup matchup against FC Motown back on March 18, Presthus scored on a header in the 33rd minute in a 2-0 victory. The New Albany, Ohio native stood tall in the backfield, making an incredible body save in front of the goal, and helped Hartford preserve a clean sheet victory.
Hartford Athletic, currently sitting at 2-0-1, host Indy Eleven at Trinity Health Stadium in their highly anticipated home opener on Saturday, March 28th, at 5:00 pm. Tickets are available now at hartfordathletic.com.
