BRONX, NY – The Bronx CC Broncos picked up a huge win, Wednesday afternoon, to help their chances of making the NJCAA District Tournament. The Broncos defeated Westchester CC 2-1 in a tightly contested match.

The Broncos showed their resilience and toughness throughout the match against Westchester CC after falling down 1-0 early in the first half from a beautiful free kick by Juan Torres in the 22^nd minute. Less than three minutes later the Broncos won a free kick in the Westchester half of the field. Sophomore midfielder Baba Anne delivered a beautiful cross into the box when freshman midfielder Mohamed Fadiga flicked the ball up to himself and then knocked it home to even the score at 1-1.

The 2^nd half showed much of the same, solid tactical defense and strong tackling. The Broncos got stronger as the game went on with excellent work rate. Finally, the work paid off in the 69^th minute as freshman forward Elder Rabanales finished a through ball from fellow freshman midfielder Ahmed Owusu to break the tie and put the Broncos ahead 2-1. The Bronx played strong defense for the rest of the match and claimed the 2-1 victory over Westchester CC.

A win over a quality opponent this late in the season goes a long way for the Broncos hopes of competing in postseason soccer. The Broncos have won their second game in a row and improve their record to 4-3-0 (0-1-0) as Westchester drops to 5-5-0. The Broncos have more opportunities coming up to reach their postseason goal with a matchup at home on Saturday against nationally ranked #5 Nassau CC and on Monday in the CUNYAC Championship Game against rival Queensborough CC.
