The SMSD Bisons soccer team “righted the ship” yesterday in a convincing victory over the Lions from Central Baptist 5-1. The coaches were able to change our scheme and allowed us to re-establish a more balanced attack while substituting our players in and out of the match to give them a short rest so that they could perform at their best. A special congrats goes out to Caleb Zirpola and Ifeanyi Nwabueze for scoring their 1^st varsity goals in their career. Moving forward, our team has a much-needed break before our next match on Tuesday, October 10^th against the Stanley G. Falk school. Please wish the Bisons congrats on the win.

The Bisons fell last night at home against Christian Academy of WNY(CAWNY) by the score of 3-2. Our opponent opened up the scoring with a pair of goals that just got passed the finger tips of Saul Alvira. Despite the early hole that our team found itself in, we demonstrated resiliency and clawed our way back into the match with goals from Yaser Abdollahi and Farhad Ghorbani. Our defense, including Di’Ovanny Lacen, Fahim Shah, and Shannon Green remained strong despite once again being limited by players to substitute and were able to hold off CAWNY’s attack throughout the majority of the 2^nd half. Unfortunately, with only minutes remaining in the contest, our team simply ran out of gas and the Eagles became too much for the Bisons to stave off. The team looks to bounce back immediately with a game today at home against the Lions from Central Baptist. Please wish our team good luck.

Overall Record: 1-3
NFCAA Record: 1-3
ESDAA Record: 0-0

Individual Stats:
Farhad Ghorbani- 1 goal(3rd of the season)
Yaser Abdollahi- 1 goal(6th of the season)

The Bisons managed to get in their second match of a home/away series against league opponent Chesterton Academy yesterday afternoon on our beautiful field (special thanks to Jeff LeRoy and Nick Renswick). Despite being shorthanded of players, our team gave it all they had in a losing effort of 4-0. Our defense consisting of Di’Ovanny Lacen and our goalie Saul Alvira kept the game competitive on the scoreboard, but we were too limited on offense to present any serious threat to the 2022 NFCAA league champions. This was our only scheduled contest for this week. Our goal is to be back at full strength for our match next week on Monday against Christian Academy of WNY(CAWNY). Please continue to support the Bisons and tell them to keep their heads up.

Thanks,

Coach Booke & Coach LeRoy

The Bisons took it on the chin this afternoon against NFCAA league champion Chesterton Academy by the score of 6-2. We struggled to get our offense going and didn't score until there were 5 minutes remaining in the match. Both Farhad Ghorbani and Yaser Abdollahi were able to continue their scoring streak and prevent the Bisons from being shutout. With a limited number of players that we could use as substitutions, our defense which played competitively against Chesterton's potent attack, eventually ran out of gas and our opponent was able to sneak a bunch of goals past both Saul Alvira and Ifeanyi Nwabueze who shared time playing keeper. Despite a good effort, it wasn't our day. Fortunately, we don't have much time to dwell on our loss because we're back on the field Thursday for a game against Christian Academy of WNY.

Overall Record: 1-1
NFCAA Record: 1-1
ESDAA Record: 0-0

Individual Stats:
Farhad Ghorbani- 1 goal(2nd of the season)
Yaser Abdollahi- 1 goal(5th of the season)

The Bisons started their 2023 regular season campaign on the road against the Lions from Central Baptist. With limited practices under our belt and the loss of some impact players from last year, today's match was a good litmus test for our team. That said, the Bisons controlled the tempo and the scoreboard from the get go and were in control for the entire contest. Yaser Abdollahi, Saul Alvira, and Farhad Ghorbani all chipped in goals, while Ifeanyi Nwabueze was a backstop in goal with the help of rookie defender Fahim Shah and hussle from midfielders Caleb Zirpola and Khyier Richardson. Overall, it was a great team effort as the Bisons brought home a "W" by the score of 7-1. Wish our players congrats and good luck this season.

Thanks,

Coach Booke & Coach LeRoy
