Aaron Pitchkolan and Anthony Hamilton scored second-half goals as the Rochester Rhinos edged the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 in USSF Division 2 soccer action Saturday.
Pitchkolan opened the scoring for Rochester (4-3-2) in the 74th minute. Some poor Whitecaps defending allowed the unmarked Pitchkolan to meet Jamie Franks' corner kick and head it past Vancouver goalkeeper Jay Nolly.
Hamilton made it 2-0 Rochester 10 minutes later. From the corner of the Whitecaps box, the Rochester striker sent a shot that deflected off Vancouver defender Luca Bellisomo before looping over the head of Nolly and into the far corner of the net.
Ricardo Sanchez scored his first goal as a Whitecap on free kick during injury time, but that was all the offence for the Whitecaps (3-2-3).
