Playoffs

U.S. Open Cup

During the 2024 U.S. Open Cup, the Charleston Battery entered in the Round of 32 alongside seven other USLC teams and the eight participating Major League Soccer franchises. [30] [31]

Unlike in the 2023 U.S. Open Cup, where the Battery made it to the Round of 32 before getting knocked out by Inter Miami CF, [3] the Battery was able to advance past the Round of 32, beating fellow United Soccer League governed, third division side South Georgia Tormenta FC, [32] [33] a team in the USL League One, at home 3-2 after added extra time with the help of forward Matt Myers' hat trick. [34] [35] However, their run in the Open Cup came to an end during the Round of 16 when they hosted Major League Soccer club Atlanta United FC, [36] where they would lose 4-5 on penalties after a scoreless match. [37] [38] [39]
