Jordyn Konlian is a senior and a captain of the girls lacrosse team. The girls lacrosse team was excited to be back on the field after missing last season due to COVID-19. Konlian’s final season of lacrosse has come to a close. Advocate Staff Reporter Giuliana Aguilar interviewed Konlian about the season. 

Giuliana Aguilar: What were some successes this season?

Jordyn Konlian: This season we had many successes, but the biggest one was beating Foran twice. We have always played a hard game against them and this year was like other years. We were very happy since the second win against them qualified us for the state tournament which we have been in every year since girls lacrosse started at Law.

GA: What motivates you to succeed on the field? 

JK: On the field, I am always looking to compete to the best of my ability. My team always motivates me, whether it is during the draw or even taking a shooting space shot I know they have my back and I always have there’s. 

GA: What was the team’s goal? Was it achieved?

JK: The team’s goal this year was to qualify for the state tournament. This year we ended up qualifying in our last game, but we were very excited to continue to play! 

GA: Do you have any advice for future lacrosse players?

JK: My advice for future lacrosse players is to always practice like you are going to play. Hard work does pay off in the end and it will make you a better player. 

GA: What was a personal goal you accomplished?

JK: A personal goal that I accomplished this year was winning more than 50 percent of my draw controls. This is very important to me and the team so we are able to get control of the ball which in the end hopefully leads us to score goals. I am very happy with how the season went, but I’m sad that I won’t be able to play next year.
