Match Highlights
A quick start by Westchester FC was not enough, as the road warriors dropped a 3-1 match at first place Spokane Velocity FC on Sunday night. For the first time in USL League One this season, WSC grabbed the early lead when Samory Powder nailed a cross from Stephen Payne to give the visitors a 1-0 lead, but Pierre Reedy tied the match right before halftime, sending both teams to the break knot at one.
Early in the second half Anuar Peláez gave Spokane a 2-1 lead they would not relinquish despite numerous chances, including keeper Carlos Merancio stonewalling J,C. Obregón on a penalty kick just four minutes after Spokane took the lead. It took another ten minutes before Ismaila Jome beat Dane Jacomen to put the homestanders up 3-1, and send WSC back east for their long awaited home opener next Saturday with a match against Charlotte Independence.
Westchester SC now sits at 1-2-2, having played all five of its first USL League One matches away from home, and start what will be a six match homestand on Saturday.
