Know Before You Go: Union Omaha vs. Westchester Sc
August 6, 2025 - United Soccer League One (USL1)
Union Omaha News Release
11 of Union Omaha's final 15 matches are at home, and two of them come this very week. With more pups in the stands for another Wednesday match, your Owls will be looking to rebound from a close loss at Spokane by taking on a Westchester SC side that hasn't won (barring extenuating circumstances) since mid-June. Union Omaha have seen an infusion of energy in their side of late, from a slew of new attacking threats to the new vibes of interim head coach Vincenzo Candela, but with over half of the season past us, it's time to really begin racking up the points for a playoff chase. The Owls can look to Player of the Month nominee Ryan Becher, already with four goals since arriving in late June, and Golden Playmaker leader Charlie Ostrem for support, among many others.
ABOUT WESTCHESTER SC
To this point in the season, we've faced off against four of the five newcomers to USL League One (Portland, Texoma, Naples, and AV Alta). Westchester SC will complete the set when the whistle blows to kick things off today. The New York-based outfit are maybe the most star-studded of the lot, featuring names like Golden Boot leader Juan Carlos Obregón Jr, ex-MLS and Haitian national team player Andrew Jean-Baptiste, and former MLS All-Star Kemar Lawrence. Despite such a veteran presence, a story of Westchester's season has been an inability to see matches through. They have led in 11 matches this season, but only won two of them. With the second-most points gained from losing positions in the league as well, though, anything can happen in this matchup!
