The Law girls soccer team played had its last game Thursday, October 28, and ended its fall season with three wins.

One of the team’s wins was against Hamden High School, which not only upped their confidence but allowed the team to end the season positively. Between hard work at practices and on the field, the win was well-deserved. 

“The girls were especially excited to beat Hamden on their senior night,” interim head coach Mr. Rodriguez said. “ They’ve worked hard this season to connect their passes and make runs.”

Law had its Senior Night on Wednesday, October 20, against Branford where team members decorated the field and said goodbye to their seniors.

“The seniors are a great asset to the team,” junior forward Elly Van Waveren said. “Though I will miss them, I am happy they were able to get a full regular season even with COVID-19, and I wish them luck next year.”

The seniors were not only an important part of the team skill-wise, but helped create a friendly environment for everyone and got along with everyone.

“This team is so fun and the seniors are a huge part of that,” freshman varsity center back Madelyn Baranowsky said. “All of the seniors bring such great energy to the team and I’m going to miss them a lot.”

Luckily, the seniors and everyone else on the team were able to get their full final season in even with COVID-19.

“COVID-19 did not affect our season like it did last year,” junior forward Demi Carrapico said. “We were lucky in being able to play all of our games with little to no restrictions.”

The team is very confident about next year’s season, even though they are losing some of their best and most experienced players. 

“Though we are losing our seniors, we have a good group of returning players that will now have more experience,” said Baranowsky. “Not to mention we played especially well towards the end of the season.” 

As eager as the girls are about next season, they are still upset about the current fall season ending. 

“I am very upset the season has ended,” Van Waveren said. “Though it wasn’t the ideal season stat-wise, we had a lot of fun making friendships and memories.”

The girls are prepared to work even harder next season in order to win as many games as possible to get to SCCs, and they could not be more excited.
