Westchester Soccer Club’s late season run has seen a cast of players contribute and mature under the leadership of George Gjokaj.
So it should come as no surprise that yet another pair of names were selected this week as part of the USL League One Team of the Week.
Defender Jack Loura won nine duels and five tackles as WSC extended their unbeaten string and defeated AV ALTA FC, 2-1 on Saturday. He was joined in this week’s selection by fellow defender Daniel Burko, who set the tone in Westchester’s victory with a 20th-minute goal, then won nine duels and five tackles, while also making three clearances.
Saturday’s win gave WSC their first-ever four match unbeaten streak (they have had streaks of three on four occasions in their two year history) and enter this Saturday at home vs. Forward Madison with 3 wins and a draw in the last four. It also moved them to 8-4-2 at home (a marked improvement from 3-8-4 in Mt. Vernon in their inaugural season) and was also their second straight one goal win after going 1-10 in their first 11 one goal decisions.
