WSC is coming off a 4-4 draw against the Richmond Kickers last Saturday in Richmond in USL League One play with Noah Powder being named USL League One Player of the Week. The Trinidad and Tobago international, Edison, N.J. native and two-time USL Championship title-winner exploded for the second three-goal-contribution match of his decade-long professional career, scoring Westchester's opening goal in the eighth minute before providing assists on second-half goals from his brother, Samory, as well as Conor McGlynn.
This is the second year of the Jägermeister Cup competition, which last year was limited to USL League One teams and won by the Northern Colorado Hailstorm. This year, all professional teams in USL will take part, bringing the total number of entrants to 38 teams who will try to claim the title in the season long tournament.
