The Jonathan Law boys soccer team is now 6-2 on the season after a 2-0 win against Foran on October 27. They currently hold a top seed for the regional postseason tournament with three games left in the season. The team’s next game will be Senior Night on October 30 at home against Shelton. Sports Editor Ethan Harrigan interviewed senior captain Jacob Nastasia about this year’s season and Senior Night.

Ethan Harrigan: Reflecting on all four years, how does it feel to now be a senior and a captain on the team?

Jacob Nastasia: It feels extremely rewarding. To come as a freshman and see players I respected in this position, then achieve it myself, was surreal.

EH: What are your feelings on the team’s performance this year?

JN: Proud. The team is bouncing back from a no-win season into one of the best we have seen, taking down big names like Shelton and Amity.

EH: What has been your favorite moment of the season so far?

JN: Easily the 2-0 win over Foran. It was the culmination of all our efforts to beat the team we lost to game one and shows how far we have come.

EH: How is senior night going to be different than previous years?

JN: Senior Night won’t look the same. Plenty of activities had to be reduced or scrapped, like the party after, and we will have limited attendance, but the team us there and that’s what matters.

EH: How do you think the team will do in the postseason?

JN: We are on track for a very successful postseason, already having beat every top team in our bracket and securing a #2 seeding for the playoffs.
