The fourth round is the end of the road for USL teams competing in the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Out of seventeen USL clubs that entered the competition in round two, these six clubs made it thus far.
The valiant effort of these six USL clubs bodes well for the league as a whole. As can be seen from the table below, USL clubs from the top, middle, and bottom of their respective tables represented the league. Of the matches that ended before penalties, only one USL club was defeated by more than one goal. In both matches that went into penalty kicks, the USL club scored at least once.
