Their striker was able to convert, kicking just below the cross bar and Westchester trailed 1-0.
The game stayed tied until the final buzzer as both teams excelled at limiting scoring chances. With the loss, the Westchester Vikings fall to 3-2 (3-1 in Region XV) on the season. They return to action at 4pm on Tuesday, September 20th as they welcome the Wave of Kingsborough Community College.
