OAKDALE—The Mustangs of Putnam Science Academy were projected to do pretty well in their first season under first-year head soccer coach Ivan Damulira. The Mustangs scored early and often as they have all season long in route to a 7-0 victory over St. Thomas More.
Class of 2019 Left Wing Jenluis Henriquez scored two goals in the first half to set the tone for the Mustangs as PSA led 3-0 at the half. Felipe Luis, Class of 2020 left wing, scored two goals of his own to put the game out of reach. PSA after dismantling Commonwealth Academy 13-0 recently have now outscored their last 2 opponent’s 20-0 and have a total of 42 goals scored to 4 goals allowed pushing their record to 6-0-2.

The inaugural season for the Boys Soccer team at Putnam Science Academy so far has been described in one word, dominant. The Mustangs cruised to an easy road victory over Oxford Academy 10-0 Oct. 25 increasing the team’s record to 10-0-2. Yes, this is soccer not football despite some of the scores this season. PSA, since tying Williston 1-1 back on Sept. 22, have won 7 straight and have outscored opponents 59-2. Dominant. The Mustangs have hung their hat on defense and let the scoring happen. Head Coach Ivan Damulira said, “The goals will come. We are too talented as a group to not score but the key has been the way we get back on defense.” He added, “We’ve been fortunate to win a lot of 50/50 balls and really control the game by possessing the ball and creating opportunities for everyone.” Putnam Science Academy has just 6 games remaining on the season as they look to finish out strong and continue to make a name for themselves, not only in the quiet corner but in the Prep Soccer circuit as well.
