This Westchester has two words, not one, New York fans.
Pennsylvania amateur club West Chester United SC announced earlier this week it would be playing the New York Red Bulls in a friendly this Saturday afternoon. The Red Bulls had previously announced plans to hold one friendly at the club’s training facility in East Hanover on March 19 prior to leaving for Florida the next day for full preseason. The match will take place at 2pm but there are no plans to stream or televise any of the proceedings.
Blaise Santangelo, West Chester’s head coach and sporting director, spoke with Once A Metro about the opportunity his team’s been given saying it feels like the next step in something bigger as they grow in stature in amateur soccer and in familiarity with the Red Bulls.
