West Chester United falls on penalties to FC Motown in NPSL conference final

West Chester United battled their rivals to a 1-1 draw in regulation and after trading goals in extra time saw their NPSL season end in a penalty shootout to FC Motown.

FC Motown captured the Keystone Conference postseason crown for the fourth straight time and advanced to the East region semifinal but the Predators gave them everything they had in another classic clash between two of the regions best amateur programs.

After trading spells of possession and chance creation, FC Motown was able to find an opening goal through Franco Catania just before halftime. Catania had the game-winner to open the scoring against Philadelphia Ukrainian Nationals in Friday’s semifinal.
