For the fourth time since 2002, Haiti has booked a spot in the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Gold Cup, no small feat for the Caribbean nation of roughly 11 million people.

Front and center for Les Grenadiers is a dose of New England flavor, as New England Revolution midfielder Zachary Herivaux (Brookline, Mass.) has gone 90 minutes in back-to-back Group B wins over Nicaragua and Bermuda.

Connecting with New England Soccer Journal before a Monday evening match vs. Costa Rica at Red Bull Arena to determine first place in the group, Herivaux stressed the importance of advancing this far.
