The College of Staten Island Men’s and Women’s Soccer programs will kick off the 2024 regular season this week with home games on Thursday and Saturday. The women will open with a matchup against Caldwell University on Thursday and the men will face Assumption University on Saturday.
Each team enters 2024 with plenty of reasons for optimism ahead of their season-opener later this week. For the women, their roster has grown in size since the conclusion of the 2023 season, and they return several key players from last year. Men’s Soccer recently named Donato Curci as Head Coach and have also added plenty of new faces to their 2024 roster. Curci comes with an extensive playing and coaching background and was elevated to his new position after joining the Dolphins as Associate Head Coach last year.
Alex Mendolia returns as Head Coach for the Women’s Soccer Team fresh off a trip to France as part of the support staff for the US Women’s National Team. Last season, the Men’s Soccer Team made their debut in the East Coast Conference playoffs after clinching a playoff spot on the final day of regular season. Unfortunately, they lost 2-1 on the road against Queens College in a resilient effort. The Women’s Soccer Team battled until the final horn on the last day of the regular season, but they came up just short in their bid for a spot in the East Coast Conference playoffs.
