For Alvirne’s boys’ soccer team, they are coming off a season that they went 5-9-2 and made the Division I playoffs, losing to Nashua South in prelims, which is a step up from their 2022 season where they were 3-13 and missed the playoffs entirely. This season, the Broncos will look to build on that mark and perhaps get back to .500 for the first time since 2020 when they were 6-2 in the regular season in the pandemic season.
Alvirne will open their season on Thursday, August 29 against Dover on the road in their lone game of the opening week. Last season, the two teams battled each other to the finish with Alvirne losing narrowly by a final of 2-1 to the Green Wave, with that game also being held in Dover.
In their second week of the season, Alvirne’s boys’ soccer team will play just one game once again, opening up the month of September with a road game at the Salem Blue Devils, a team that Alvirne hosted on Senior Night last season and battled to a 0-0 draw in their final home game of the regular season.
Alvirne’s first home game will have to wait until September 10 when the Broncos return home to take on the Nashua South Panthers, a team the Broncos know all too well after their first-round playoff matchup a year ago. The Broncos will also take the ride out to Keene two days later to take on the Blackbirds. Alvirne beat Keene last season 2-1 with that game taking place at home towards the middle of the season.
Alvirne will then wrap up the month of September playing three of their final four games of the month at home, taking on Timberlane at home on the 16th, Bishop Guertin at home on the 19th, then taking a ride up to Concord to take on the Crimson Tide on the road on
