In the past five years, Amherst men’s soccer has reached four Final Four weekends.
That’s a massive accomplishment, one head coach Justin Serpone doesn’t lose sight of or take for granted.
"Forget the Final Four -- making the NCAA Tournament is really hard to do and there are a lot of programs that don't ever get that chance," Serpone told New England Soccer Journal this week. "So winning a game in the NCAA Tournament, that’s hard to do. Getting to a Sweet 16, then the Elite Eight and so on -- we are one thousand percent grateful for every minute we can extend our season. It will never get old.
"You can be a really good program and never get here. For this to be our fourth in five years, it feels like an embarrassment of riches."
