Dice Boys Soccer concluded its Fall 2023 season with a fiery finish. After battling for several months in WPIAL 4A league play, the toughest section in the western half of Pennsylvania, Allderdice would fight down the stretch to win 4 of their last 5 games in dominant fashion. The Dragons' firepower and teamwork was on full display in their final matchup of the season vs. non-section city opponent Brashear for Senior Night. With a big turnout from the fans at Cupples Stadium and a beautiful evening of soccer on deck, the boys rose to the occasion and produced one last performance to remember. Brashear provided tough resistance early, as the Dragons piled on pressure looking for a goal to break the deadlock. After nearly half an hour of action, the floodgates would open. Dice's top scorer on the season, Junior Forward Peter Myrianthopoulos, turned in another shooting clinic with a flurry of goals to set the tone. He netted a hat-trick in a manner of minutes, ending the night with 4 goals and an assist to boost his overall tally to 16 goals and 3 assists, a haul that has earned Peter WPIAL All-Section All-Star Nomination. The final result was a truly emphatic 13-0 victory highlighting the quality throughout the squad. Our senior class went out on a high, with goals from captain Alex Lieberman, Tatum Miller and Porter Waldrup, as well as an assist from Jose Jimenez. Not to be outdone, the underclassmen chipped in with a plethora of offense, highlighted by Ethan Voight-Cherna converting 2 goals and 2 assists, Niv Friedman and Jakob Sirlin adding a goal an assist, and freshman Luca Fuerte grabbing 2 more assists in his fledgling career. While the season draws to a close, Coach Thyberg and the boys have a chance to reflect on the growth, accomplishments and memories shared over the last 3 months as a team, and the last 4 years for the seniors. Thanks to the players, parents, volunteers, school administration, coaching staff and everyone who helped make this season possible. We appreciate it, and look forward to the next chapter!
