Chae Brangman tipped a level game in favor of the Western Mass Pioneers on Friday, sending them to a 2-1 win over A.C. Connecticut at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, Ct.<\/p>\n

With the score tied at one apiece in the 87th minute, Brangman blasted a shot from 30 yards that bulged the back of the Connecticut net. <\/p>\n

Pioneers skipper Maxi Vieira opened the scoring in the 10th minute but the Blues responded shortly thereafter when Henning Dirks backheeled a pass to Louis Greenway, who buried it in the 14th minute.<\/p>\n

Blues goalkeeper Steve Sasso made a game-high four saves to keep a hungry Pioneers’ attack from getting the go-ahead until the final minutes. <\/p>\n

Friday’s win allowed the Pioneers to improve to 2-1-2 (8 points), putting them within two points of first place Seacoast United Phantoms. The Blues’ record dropped to 1-2-1 (4 points).<\/p>\n

Western Mass returns to action on Wednesday when they head to the Empire State to face FA Euro at Belson Stadium in Queens, N.Y. A quick turnaround will put Connecticut back on the pitch on Sunday when they travel to South Huntington, N.Y. to face the Long Island Rough Riders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
