Making of a goalie
If Alex Bono wasn’t born to play goalkeeper, the junior has certainly grown into and refined himself as one of the nation’s best for Syracuse

Syracuse men's soccer goalie Alex Bono has combined physical attributes and natural skill to anchor a defense that has the Orange off to a historic start.
By Sam BlumAsst. Copy Editor
13 hours ago
Alex Bono always wanted to stop the ball.
When he was 3 years old, he’d set up a net in his kitchen and pretend to be a hockey goalie. When he played Little League baseball, he only wanted to play catcher. And when he started playing soccer in first grade, there was only one position he would play.
“Goalies kind of have to have a little intuition to them, it’s not something that can be taught,” said his mother, Kim Bono. “It has to be something you just sense. I just think he just had a great sense of the game.
“He always enjoyed being that person to block the shot.”
He is built to block that shot.
Bono’s 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame, quick reflexes and feet make him the consummate keeper in size and skill. Layer in his level-headed mentality, experience and ability to communicate and Syracuse gets the nation’s top collegiate goalie, as far as numbers can see.
He captains the defense, leading No. 9 Syracuse (9-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast) to its best start in program history. Out of the 41 shots that have come his way this season, he’s saved 40. In the 10 games Syracuse has played, nine have been shutouts.
“It’s not my job to do the classifying of the type of goalie that I am,” Bono said. “I’ll leave that up to the other people and I’ll just try and shape the classification that they put me in.”
Bono jokes around with his teammates that he’d like to be a few inches taller. Being one of three 6-foot-3 players on the team, those complaints often fall on deaf ears. Bono said goalies can be anywhere between 5-foot-5 and 7 feet, and claims to be average in height.
But Bono has more than height. His wingspan is 76 inches. His hands are 8 1/2 inches tall. When he was boy, he’d compare hand-sizes with his 6-foot-2 grandfather. When the two pressed their palms together, Bono’s were always bigger.
“He had big feet, big hands, it was like, ‘Great, you’re going to grow into those and be tall,’” Kim Bono said. “… It’s kind of like when you buy a puppy and they have big paws, and you’re like ‘Oh my God, this is going to be a huge dog.’ He was always the big-boned boy.”
But it was also his size that forced him to focus on improving his natural quickness. Following his senior year at C.W. Baker (New York) High School in Baldwinsville, he started training three days a week with Pete Rowley, a former SU and professional soccer player. It was with Rowley that Bono worked on his lateral movement and reaction time.
Rowley would take away Bono’s other abilities to hone in on one. Sometimes that meant forcing him to make saves from his knees to mimic an in-game situation where he’d have to make multiple back-to-back stops.
He’d make Bono make a save while turning around from facing the goal. The purpose was to heighten his neurological responses by taking away other senses, Rowley said.
To improve his lateral movement, Rowley would put him through resistance training. He’d attach his legs to cords and force him to move side-to-side. Rowley tried to recreate him defending breakaways by having him jump hurdles before making saves.
“Alex has all the innate abilities that you want in a goalkeeper,” Rowley said.
Bono’s experience, which extends past startingall but one game since coming to SU, has aided his development. In high school he played for Empire United of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy system. He was a member of the United States under-18 National Soccer Team player pool. After his freshman and sophomore seasons at Syracuse, he spent his summers playing for Reading United of the Premier Development League.
In the PDL he worked on his live-ball distribution to teammates. He worked on managing the game, in terms of figuring out when his passing should be quick and when it should be slower and more deliberate.
“No matter what environment you’re in, it can become a little monotonous after a while, and that’s why I think the PDL is a valuable tool,” said Reading United head coach Brendan Burke. “…But it’s refreshing for a player or a coach to be in a different environment.”
Then there’s Bono’s mental makeup, adding the final dimension to his game. He prides himself on his communication skills, saying that there’s a tree of communication with the rest of the players on the field. He’s the stump.
Bono commands the Orange defense, telling his teammates when to step and when to hold their line. They, in turn, communicate with the players on offense.
The best goalies are doing their job if the ball never comes their way, Bono said.
“He’s got a very calm demeanor, and I think that’s very important at that position,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “You’re not looking for an anxious goalkeeper. You want to be able to turn around and ultimately know that everything’s OK.”
This season, in part, has been a celebration of Bono’s prowess. He has an uncompromising defense in front of him and just one shot that’s gotten past him.
Bono classifies himself as both orthodox and unorthodox. The orthodox part is his physical build that sets him up to dominate and the technical skills that ensure he does. The unorthodox part is when those technical skills don’t come in handy, when a play breaks down, he can still stop the ball.
“As far as his height and his quickness,” Rowley said. “There are very few goalkeepers in the country that can offer both.”

Orange Off To Best Start In Program History
Victory against Albany advances the Orange's record to 10-1-0

Live Stats
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The No. 4 Orange (10-1-0) defeated Albany (3-4-5) by a score of 2-1 on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at the SU Soccer Stadium to establish its best start in program history. The 1984 SU men's soccer team opened their season 9-1-0 before ending their tenth match in a draw.
Jordan Murrell opened the scoring for the Orange in the 33rd minute when his corner kick bent beautifully through the Albany defenders and keeper into the far corner of the net. It was Murrell's second goal of the season and the third time Syracuse has scored on a corner kick in 2014.
Chris Nanco and Emil Ekblom helped the Orange control the ball in the attacking end for the majority of the first half, rarely allowing the Great Danes to cross midfield. Albany recorded just one shot in the first 45 minutes.
In the second half of play, Albany swung the momentum back in their favor. Afonso Pinheiro broke into the open and received a pass from Leo Melgar in the 56th minute of play, and beat Orange goalkeeper Alex Bono on the short side. Great Danes keeper Tim Allen played all 90 minutes and recorded seven saves.
Alex Halis came into the match in the 81st minute for the Orange. Just one minute later, Halis received a pass from Julian Buescher and Stefanos Stamoulacatos and ripped a shot that deflected off a defender and into the top left corner of the net for his first goal of the season.
Syracuse outshot Albany 17-4 in the match, and earned nine corner kicks to three earned by the Great Danes.
Up next for the Orange is ACC foe Wake Forest who comes to the SU Soccer Stadium on Friday, Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. Admission to the match is free.
Match Notes: Murrell's goal was the first time this season Albany has allowed a goal in the first half of a match ... Bono's SU record of minutes without allowing a goal came to an end at 537:34 when Pinheiro scored in the 56th minute of play. Alex Halis
