Plainview, N.Y. (June 12, 2010) -- A goal by Tom McNamara a few minutes into the first overtime gave the FC Westchester ’91 Boys its fourth State Open Cup championship title as the FCW squad topped defending regional champs East Fishkill 2-1 in the U19 State Cup final played at Peter Collins Soccer Park in Long Island.
FC Westchester went up 1-0 I the first half when Arturo Barajas drove a cross along the ground that McNamara put home for his first goal of the match. After controlling much of the second half, FCW gave up a late second half goal on a free kick. But in the third minute of the first 15 overtime period McNamara took a great layoff pass from Barajas and buried a 25 yard shot into the top corner of the goal.
