BINcA soccer team’s season ends in forfeit; Tech Boston boys win by default, move on

The Boston International Newcomers Academy (BINcA) boys’ soccer team’s post-season run came to a sudden end last weekend after the team was eliminated from tournament play for violating Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association rules.

The BINcA team defeated its city rival, Tech Boston Academy, in overtime, 3-2, on Nov. 13, but was forced to forfeit after it was determined that one of the BINcA players was ineligible, according to published reports.

The disqualification ended the season for top-seeded BINcA at 15-3-3, but elevated another city team, Tech Boston, to the Final Four of the Division 5 tournament. They faced another Dorchester school, Dearborn STEM Academy/Holland (Burke), on Tuesday evening at Madison Park.

Dearborn won 2-1 to advance to the Division 5 championship against Sutton High School on Nov. 23 at Curry College, ensuring that at least one Dorchester team will be playing for the state title this year.
