The High School for Math, Science and Engineering Boys Varsity Soccer team has seen the bottom of the Manhattan B league for a while now, but are slowly building themselves up.“Our team's goal is to make the playoffs,” Coach Nick Diunte said.
“we improve our record every season every since I started,” Diunte said when asked if he noticed any change. In Diunte’s first season coaching the team they were 0-7, but the following season they won 1/4 of their games. Four wins finally were recorded in the next season.
The team continues to improve this season. With four games left to play, the team is 5-4. Although 1st place in their division is mathematically impossible, 2nd place in the division is likely place for them. Their next two games are against the teams that are under them in the division giving HSMSE the chance to gain at least three more points on both.
Even though 5-4 is the best HSMSE has done in a long time, their expectations weren’t met. “We have a team that is more experienced as a core group as they have spent three years playing together, they're more confident and they expect to win every time they go on the field,” explained Diunte.
