Valhalla, NY – Coming into a highly regarded match-up against the seventh-ranked Senators of SUNY Ulster, the Vikings have started off their season on a high note.
 
Going 3-0 to start the season only allowing two goals scored while netting 21, the anticipation of facing the defending Mid-Hudson Conference Champion would be the first resilient test and Westchester would come out with a fight.
 
The first half would start off with SUNY WCC testing Ulster's goalie with two quick shots on goal from Demoni Gordon and Joshua Leal however, the Senators would get on the board first with a goal in the 25^th minute. SUNY Ulster would keep the pressure throughout the half inside Westchester's zone until the 44^th minute when the Vikings were awarded a penalty kick. Joshua Leal's kick would be saved and the game would go 1-0 into halftime.
 
The second half would see more of a physical battle between the Conference rivals. The Vikings would catch the break they were hoping for in the 88^th minute. A hard foul inside the 18 would put Kenneth Concha on the line in hopes of tying the game against Ulster. The whistle would blow and Concha would net the equalizer past the Senators Santiago Saavedra. The game would end in a 1-1 tie due to the new NJCAA regular season rules.
 
Westchester will hopefully build off of this match as they prepare for another tough opponent on Saturday September 21^st. The Vikings will travel to Garden City, NY to take on the third-ranked Lions of Nassau Community College. Kickoff will be at 1pm at the Mitchell Field Complex.
