The season came to an unfortunate end on 11/2/24 against Grand Island for section champions with a score of 4-1.
To get to this point, the team kicked off their season with an away game against Maryvale with a final score of 6-0 East. This led to a continuous win streak against North Tonawanda, Lackawanna, Cheektowaga, Amherst, Pioneer, and Lake Shore, until the team’s only in-season loss against Amherst Central when they played them for the second time. They followed this with a win against Nichols and a tie against Williamsville North. Captain Gavin Steinacher commented, “The game against Williamsville North was the toughest one of the season”. Following this, East played a game against Tapestry Health Sci, ending with a score of 11-0, and another game against Amherst, ending with a score of 3-0. These two games led them to the fight for Section champions against Grand Island.
Overall, the Williamsville East Boys Soccer has had a tremendous season. The entire school conveys their best wishes for the next season. GO FLAMES!
