The Winthrop High boys soccer team is set to kick off its 2022 season under the direction of new head coach Phil Ronan when the Vikings play at Saugus next Wednesday (September 7).
Ronan previously helmed the Viking soccer program from 2001-2003 and was named the Northeastern Conference Coach of the Year in 2001. He brings 25 years of head coaching experience, including a stint as the head coach of the Metro boys team for the Baystate Games College Showcase team for 10 years during which time his squads won three gold, two silver, and two bronze medals.
The 2022 edition of the Vikings will be led by a trio of captains, Esteban Alvarez, Loert Mana, and Mateo Martinez.
Winthrop took on a strong Revere team, which plays in the Greater Boston League, in a pre-season scrimmage last Thursday.
“The boys played very well for the first time together,†said Ronan, who is still evaluating his players. “We are very young and inexperienced, so my expectations are for some growing pains. But I feel we will make incremental progress as the year goes on and hopefully finish strong.â€
Ronan and his crew were scheduled to take on Lynn Classical this evening (Thursday) in a scrimmage at 6:45 under the lights at Miller Field.
