Just 3:09 into the 2nd half, Bradford tied it up when they executed a nice corner kick play. Brian Bao found the head of Mohammed Al Qahtani. Al Qahtani slipped the header into the far corner of the net.
The game remained tied until the 71st minute when the Pioneers answered back with the game-winning goal. For the second game in a row Jake Vattimo (Geneseo) was able to head in a corner kick. This time Vattimo got the pass from Albert Senyah Breezy (Central Islip).
The Pioneers held a 20 to 10 shot advantage in the contest. Jacob Bartz (West Seneca) earned the victory with five saves while Colin Frownfelter made 10 saves for the Panthers (0-8).
The Pioneers are back in action on Saturday when they host Bryant & Stratton at 7 p.m.
