Great win again today: 5-1 over Holy Cross. Goals from Mo Keussom (2), Mick Tarozzi, Luca Cannarella, and Edison Tackaberry. Great way to start the weekend, improving to 7-2 on the season. Congrats to Mo Keussom on being named the Rod Walker Athlete of the Month! Well deserved!

Great team win against first place Molloy. Scoring started with a banger from Tristan DaVila, then came great finishes from Andrew Boselli and Mick Tarozzi to make it 3-0. #sonsofxavier #keepmarching

The finish was class from Jamie Smith, but 👀 the buildup and the feed from Captain Mo 👏 👏

Great way to start the season with a 4-2 win. Down 2-0 at half and playing a man down for the entire second half, these Knights showed ❤️ Here’s the go-ahead goal from junior Jamie Smith. Other goals came from Senior Captain Ciaran Murray, Andrew Boselli, and Mike Chiafulio.

@xaviertrack @XavierHS @XavierKnights Three soccer players, but more impressive: all four are sophomore honors students!

[Xavier NYC Soccer @xaviernycsoccer]

Nice first round 2-0 win today. Captain Casey Lee with the banger and Sophomore Mick Tarozzi rewarding himself with the scrappy put back goal. #keepmarching

Did you know?

💥There are 200,000 ACL Injuries each year

💥70% of of these injuries are preventable

💥We can reduce the risk by 60-80% by strength training consistently

💥Once a youth athlete tears their ACL, they have 20-30% increased risk of having another ACL tear

(1/2) Some stats:

-Single sport athletes 2-3x more likely to sustain hip/knee injury than multi-sport athletes
-Overall 1.5x more likely to sustain other sports injuries
-125% more likely to sustain overuse injury

But the trend is moving towards specialization so what to do?

[Xavier NYC Soccer @xaviernycsoccer]

@Joe_Eisenmann Agree 100%, but the challenge sometimes is convincing the kids, their parents, and their club coaches that lifting in offseason is necessary, it won’t stunt their growth, and they won’t get too big to be quick by getting stronger. Amazing how many arguments are out there against

[Xavier NYC Soccer @xaviernycsoccer]

Yup. That was a tough one. 3-1 loss at Farrell. Good goal from Blaze Bono to tie it up at 1 apiece, but things have to get tighter fast.

[Xavier NYC Soccer @xaviernycsoccer]

Tough 2-0 loss to Iona Prep today. Can’t afford flat performances at this time of year.

[Xavier NYC Soccer @xaviernycsoccer]

A very, very hard fought 1-1 tie with St. Francis Prep out at St. John’s tonight. Great PK goal for Jared Castro and an unbelievable goal line save from Dean Tafuri in the closing seconds to salvage the point. 4 games left. Time for the real work to begin.
