Koen Blommestijn scored a brace and Kyle Evans recorded two assists as Westchester SC earned a 3-2 win over Forward Madison FC at the Stadium at Memorial Field Saturday night, as the club continued its late season push and extended its record undefeated streak to five matches (four wins and a draw). Joshua Bolma and Hakim Karamoko scored for the visitors in the second half, the second one late in extended time after the match was pretty much decided.
The win also moved the club to 9-4-2 at home (a marked improvement from 3-8-4 in Mt. Vernon in their inaugural season) and was also their third straight one goal win after going 1-10 in their first 11 one goal decisions. They have scored three or more goals in 7 of their 15 home matches and recorded their first win of the season against a club near the top of the table (1-9-4).
Evans pair of assists gives him eight for the season, second-most assists in a season by a player aged 20 or younger in League One history, trailing only current Sacramento Republic FC attacking midfielder Arturo Rodriguez, who notched 10 assists for North Texas SC in 2019.
Despite the win, WSC eliminated from playoff content due to Fort Wayne’s earlier win, but have a chance to conclude their second season in solid fashion when they host Union Omaha on Oct. 17 before ending the campaign at Sarasota on Oct. 24.
