Last week, 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.

KEY NOTES:

Locals Leading The Way: WSC's current roster features eight players who can call the greater New York area home. They include defender Noah Powder (Edison, N.J.) and his brother Samory Powder, just the fifth pair of brothers to suit up as teammates in a League One match, and the first pair of brothers to be named to the USL League One Team of the Week as teammates in the same week. Noah Powder was named Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball with three goal contributions in a 4-4 draw against the Richmond Kickers on April 19, while Samory, the first-year professional registered a beauty of a first professional goal off an assist from his older brother, Noah at Richmond, and followed that up with his second goal, the club's only tally, last Sunday at Spokane.
