Steel FC edges Villanova in preseason friendly

Zach Zandi didn’t have to wait long to return to his old stomping ground at Villanova University. The rookie Bethlehem Steel FC midfielder delivered an assist on the Steel’s first goal in the fourth minute in a friendly against his former team on Saturday.

Saturday’s game marked the second time this week that the Philadelphia Union Academy grad and former Penn Fusion Academy midfielder from West Chester was facing former teammates. On Wednesday night, Steel FC fell to West Chester United, which Zandi spent time with after Villanova’s season ended in the fall, on a second half penalty.
