As the year comes to a close, this season for the Law girls soccer team was one to remember.

The girls soccer team finished the regular season with an 8-8 record, and defeated E. O. Smith on November 12 in the first round of the Class L State Tournament. It was the first State Tournament win in school history.

“Starting off the season with a new coach (Mrs. Francisco) was definitely a challenge but she with the team managed to learn how to adapt to each other and we got to accomplish the things we wanted,” junior Ashley Shaw said. 

The varsity squad really seemed to pull it together along with Francisco as their new coach. The team bonded well outside of practice, and even at the beginning of the season, players said, the entire team had an immediate connection with each other. 

One of the team’s biggest accomplishments that were said was being able to beat Cheshire and Guilford, which were the #1 and #2 teams in the SCC. Another goal that was met this year was winning and qualifying for states on Senior Night. 

¨This year we really worked on team bonding and that really helped us work together to achieve our goals. This season we were able to beat the 1 and number 1 seeded teams and nothing felt better than doing that with the team that is always by my side,” sophomore Shelby Green said. 

Francisco was very happy with the outcome of her first season. She was pleasantly surprised by the passion and skills the team brought to the table and was so supportive to her players throughout the season  

̈ ̈Watching and helping the team develop as players and as a team has been awesome,” Francisco said. “Checking goals off our list has been very fun.”
