The Jonathan Law girls lacrosse team kicked off their season on April 2 with an away game against Stratford. Lindsay Konlian is a senior captain who is a critical offensive player for the team and helped lead the girls to their first win against Lyman Hall. Advocate Editor-in-Chief Sydney Simpson interviewed Konlian about her goals for the upcoming season. 

Sydney Simpson: What are your personal goals for the upcoming season? What are the team goals?

Lindsay Konlian: My personal goals for the upcoming season include leading the team as a captain, teammate, and friend.  In achieving that goal, I expect to be a top scorer which will hopefully give our team the opportunity to win enough games to qualify for the state tournament at the end of the season.  

SS: What are the biggest challenges the team is facing going into this season?

LK: The biggest challenge the team is facing is our overall lacrosse inexperience.  This will slowly be corrected with each game that we play and I am looking forward to seeing how much the team progresses by the end of the year. 

SS: How did you and the rest of the team prepare for this season?

LK: Before the season started we had captain’s practices to help us prepare.  During these practices we started to condition ourselves for tryouts and the upcoming season.

SS: Why do you like playing lacrosse?

LK: I have loved playing lacrosse since I started at 10 years old.  Each year I would try to learn a new skill to improve my overall game.  At this point, I really like being able to help new players improve their own game and fall in love with the sport as well.  

SS: What are you most looking forward to this season?

LK: This season I am most looking forward to playing one last year with my fellow seniors, some of which I have been playing lacrosse with for seven years.
