Being a goalkeeper during a soccer game can be difficult. When someone on the opposite team manages to pass through the defense and is running head on with only the keeper in front of them, the keeper can feel immense pressure. During her first year on varsity this fall, sophomore goalkeeper Sabrina Lawless made a name for herself. Lawless was named All-SCC award and the top goalkeeper in Division C. Advocate News Editor Gillian Rees interviewed Lawless about the season. 

Gillian Rees: What are your thoughts on the past season?

Sabrina Lawless: Looking at our record we had a rough season this year, but as a team we were all definitely getting better as the season went on. I believe we will do better next season considering we have some great younger players.

GR: How does it feel to make All-SCC and be named the top goalkeeper in your division?

SL: It feels pretty crazy considering the fact that I am only a sophomore. I did work hard this season though and I always put my best out on the field. 

GR: What do you think you want to improve on for next season? 

SL: I want to improve on my strength mostly, even though that’s something I should always be working on. I want to work on being a leader as well.

GR: Do you think you want to play soccer in college? 

SL: Academics comes first for me, so if I could find a school that I could get a great education at and play soccer, with maybe some money off if they’d give it to me, sure!

GR: What pushes/motivates you the most to work hard?

SL: What pushes me the hardest is myself. I always wanna be the  best I can be and I’m always striving to get better.
