The HSMSE boys’ soccer team this year is looking strong, currently they have a record of 5-4. Their goal this year is to make it into the playoffs, though it hasn’t happened before. “Our team works hard at practice; we have 20 guys that are all trying their hardest to improve to contribute to the team’s success [making the playoffs],”said Coach Diunte.
The team seems like they have improved over the last few years. In years 2009-2010 they had a record of 3-8 with one tie and in 2010-2011 they improved to 4-10. HSMSE’s soccer team is closer to making it into the playoffs with the new talent they have this year.
While looking at the newest players on the team, Steven Limeta, a defender, has blocked many fowards. The other, Sebastian Villada a midfielder/forward, has taken a total of 4 shots and has made 3 of them in five games. Villada is still a freshman and therefore has three more years to improve and refine his skills. Although these two alone will not bring victory to HSMSE, they make a great addition to the team.
Since Coach Diunte was hired as head coach, the team’s goal is closer toward the playoff, they have senior striker, Julian Petrello. He has 41 shots on target and 12 goals. He has been a major contributor to the team. The team depends on him to get the ball and make plays on goal. One of his fellow senior players is Kevin Chun. The team depends on his ability to bring the ball up the field. These two players also have seniority on the field. They have been playing with the team since their sophomore year. They hope to get to the postseason because they have not made it to the playoffs yet. This would be a major achievement for the players, coach, and school.

Before the playoffs, the team has some rivals left to play. The players have developed a rivalry against Fiorello H. LaGuardia, where the team lost twice last year to them. Petrello tells us, “It was supposed to be their win, yet they lost by one point in the second half of both games played last year.”
