The Dartmouth high school boys varsity soccer team has won five games, lost five games and tied one game so far this season.
On Thursday, Oct. 9 they faced off against Bridgewater-Raynham Regional High School, but lost 3-2.
In the last 10 minutes, the teams were tied and the crowd was yelling and cheering on their teams. Bridgewater-Raynham scored a goal in the last five minutes that won them the game.
Dartmouth reporter Kat Sheridan went to the game and talked to the coach, Joshua Silva, about this year’s season.
Q: How did the game go today?
A: Obviously not the result we wanted. Full transparency, we really haven’t been playing that well. I thought today we’d play a little bit better, we had opportunities we just didn’t capitalize on, [the opposing team] was able to capitalize on their chances.
Q: How has the season been going?
A:It’s been an okay season so far, we’ve kind of got hit with the injury bug so we’re definitely not clicking on all cylinders. But hopefully we can have a little break and recoup and hit the final stretch, get some games together.
Q: What has your biggest challenge been this season?
A: Just consistency. I think there’s a couple games I can say we’ve fully been locked in the entire game. Just that mental focus, those lapses come back to bite us this season. Good news is it’s stuff that's fixable.
Q: What are the steps going forward?
A: Just got to train well, hopefully we can recover from some of our injuries and focus on one game at a time.
The team will be facing off against Barnstable High school on Tuesday, Oct. 14 at Barnstable. .
