The Jonathan Law boys lacrosse season is starting up led by head coach Mike Forget and assisted by coach Matt McCloskey.

This season’s team features junior Austin Danville, senior James Boyle, and senior captain Cole Egersheim, who was also captain last year.

“I think if we all play to our full potential every game we can have a great season,” Egersheim said.

Last season the team went 5-11 in the regular season.

“We are looking very strong this year,” senior defender Bobby Fisk said. “Our starting team has been playing since their sophomore year.”

Egersheim had 39 goals last season and hopes to score more this year. He is approaching 100 career goals.

“We hope to make the playoffs and keep as many goals out of the net as possible,” junior defender Matt Evanko said.

Boyle led the team with 18 assists last year and is currently starting varsity again this year.

Sophomore Brett Pisani is starting in goal. 

Law opened its season with a 15-7 win over Lyman Hall on Saturday, March 31. The team’s next game is Tuesday, April 3, at 4:30 p.m. against Notre Dame-West Haven.

The Jonathan Law girls lacrosse team is also getting ready to start its spring season.

The girls lacrosse team has been in existence at Law for five years and went 13-5 last season.

Leading the team this year are senior captains Stella Patrick, Colleen Goodwin, Olivia Keator, and Andria Torres.

To be even more successful this season my captains and I are going to work really hard to bring the team close together and keep a competitive attitude,” Goodwin said.

The team had its first scrimmage of the year on Thursday, March 29, at 6 p.m. at home against Stamford which ended in a victory for Law.

Last year, the team advanced to the quarterfinals of the Class M State Tournament and the second round of the SCC Tournament.

“I think our program will be stronger than last year,” senior Chloe McCullough said. “We have determined players and we are working hard everyday.”

The head coach of the girls lacrosse team is Lynette Martinez and the assistant coach is Nicole Healy.

“I am definitely looking forward to the Foran game,” Keator said. “It is always a great rivalry between us.”

This year, the girls team will be giving out pamphlets before the games consisting of advertisements, team shout-outs, and a roster to raise money for team apparel.
