Scarsdale Boys Soccer Team is 7-0 and First in the State

(Updated September 22) Sixth in the nation. First in the state. Scarsdale Boys Varsity Soccer has made a name for themselves with a tremendous 7-0 start to the season. Since a heavy loss to Mamaroneck in the section finals last fall, they have only grown stronger and more connected than ever.

With only one goal conceded this season, goalie Lucas Kantor is determined to keep that statistic running. He works harmoniously with defenders Alex Duval, Matthew Choe, Zach Ruback, and David Wang. They make up this strong foundation that allows for such success offensively. On the other end of the field the team's striker, Leo Khang, uses his elite finishing abilities to fire balls into the net. Rising star, Lev Stahl, at defensive midfielder, has become a key component to the team's movement on the field and wins every aerial duel he encounters.

There would be no team without the Galeano Brothers. Captain Nico Galeano at central attacking midfielder, has shown us time and time again his playmaking skills and vision on the field. Last week he was voted Lohud Player of the Week after his overtime goal to win the game against Arlington. His younger brother, Lorenzo Galeano, does not live the name down. He displays dribbling skills, gliding by defenders, and draws fouls with ease. Their brotherly connection, that has been developing since the days of 1v1’s in their basement, is evident on the field.

It figures that eight of the eleven starters play together on the New York Premiere Football Club, thus continuing their joint training in the offseason, furthering their innate interconnectedness. Their coach, Marcos Monteagudo, sees their potential to go far this season and knows how to get them fired up and keep their infectious momentum rolling.

Dominating the field in all of their matches thus far and defeating rival Mamaroneck last Wednesday, not only have they asserted themselves as a force to be reckoned with, but a brotherhood on and off the field.

Footnote:
On Tuesday 9/19 the team continued its winning streak, defeating Mt. Vernon 4-1 in a home game at Scarsdale.

Coming up:
