LUDLOW - West Springfield's Chris Roswess scored in the 71st minute and the Western Mass. Pioneers earned a 1-0 win over the Portland Phoenix Friday night to claim one of the nine U.S. Open Cup berths from the Premier Development League.

Roswess, who plays at the University of Massachusetts, came on in the second half and provided the Pioneers a spark in the offensive third. After scoring he then gave the Lusitano Stadium faithful a show with an acrobatic flip in celebration.

"I just got a ball into my feet from Tommy (McNamara) and turned,'' Roswess said. "I didn't even look at the net really, just struck it and it went bottom corner.''
