The Law girls lacrosse team ended its season on a high note.

The girls’ regular season record was 8-8. They also qualified for the state tournament again this year.

The team’s captains consist of sophomore Stella Patrick, junior Angela Sciuto, and senior Kayla Carollo. They are a relatively younger team with only two seniors graduating – Carollo and Kelly Scianna.

“I’m sad that this is my last season, but I couldn’t have asked for a better team to play with,” Carollo said.

Carollo started playing lacrosse her sophomore year and has progressed immensely throughout her seasons on the team.

“Starting lacrosse sophomore year was scary but instantly became my favorite sport,” Carollo said. “My teammates and coaches have been amazing.”

Some difficult teams the girls played this season were Lauralton Hall, Hamden, and North Branford.

“Even though we lost a few games the team always stayed together and gave it our best shot,” junior Becca Tighe said.

The team beat rival Foran twice this season. The first game they played against Foran was at Foran on May 9 and Law won 16-5. On May 23, the girls defeated Foran once again, 11-10 in overtime on Senior Night.

“Beating Foran was definitely the highlight of my season,” Sciuto said. “There’s always so much energy and competition when we play against them.”

Sciuto was temporary sidelined due to a knee injury suffered during the Lyman Hall game. She helped lead her team to a successful season and was soon back on the field to help against the Lions.

Other key players for the team this season were Andria Torres and Olivia Keator on attack, Colleen Goodwin, Bethany Edwards, and Catie Rice and Stella Patrick in goal.

“Our goal every season is to do better than the previous season,” head coach Jessica Shaw said.

Freshmen are always welcomed to the team and have made a great impact this season.

“I liked playing this year and getting to know the coaches and the team,” freshman Mary Lonergan said. “It was nice as a freshmen coming into such a welcoming team.”
