FC Westchester U16s Defeat Baltimore Bays 2-1 in U.S. Soccer Development Academy Action; U18s Fall to Bays 4-3
4/11/10

A goal by Steven Arraiano with 10 minutes to go in the game broke led the FC Westchester U16 team to a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Bays in a U.S. Soccer Development Academy match played in Baltimore.

FC Westchester got on the board first in the match in the 40th minute when Ryan McNamara took pass from Andres Penfold and bent the ball around the Bays keeper. Baltimore then evened the score in the 60th minute, but 10 minutes later a pressing Arraiano intercepted a pass in the Bays backfield and scored the game-winning game on a breakaway.

Meanwhile, the FC Westchester U18s fell to Baltimore 4-3 in a back and forth contest. Brian "Cobi" Span scored the first two goals for FC Westchester to put FC Westchester up 2-1, but Baltimore came back to tie 2-2 before and Keegan Carter put FCW back on top in the second half 3-2, but two late goals by Baltimore clinched the victory for the Bays.

Both the U16 and U18 Academy teams return home for matches next Sunday (April 18) at noon and 2 p.m. at Purchase College.
