The Law boys soccer captains lead the team in what hopes to be another successful season. 

The boys soccer team is currently 1-4-1 on the season. The four captains for this year’s team are senior Oren Sedelmaier, junior Declan Wywoda, junior Cooper Fitzgerald, and junior Eliot Melgar.

“It is a great responsibility,” Wywoda said. “This team is super young and I look forward to working with the younger guys and seeing them improve. It comes with many responsibilities and I am ready for all the challenges to come because I know that if we work hard and work together we can win.”

Players are also excited to be back into the swing of things and are looking forward to upcoming games.

“I’m excited for the rest of the season because after our great team performance last night against Notre Dame we showed we can compete with anyone,” Sedelmaier said. “We showed fight and proved we aren’t going to be an easy team to beat and our future opponents have to watch out.”

Head coach Mr. Gruber had high praise for all four of his captains. 

“Cooper Fitzgerald is determined, loves soccer and is a leader on and off the field, Eliot Melgar is the best communicator on the team and pushes his teammates to get the best out of them, Declan Wywoda is a multi-sport athlete that brings wealth of knowledge and what displays what hard work means both on and off the field, and Oren Sedelmaier plays a huge role on the team by always working and looks out for everyone on the team making sure we are as one unit,” Gruber said.

Everyone has a positive attitude and feeling towards the team. They all have a different connection to the group.

“I feel good about the program,” Melgar said. “It is well run and I have high hopes for a good season.” 

Every captain has made a special effort to make the team stronger and make them all feel like they are one big family. 

“They are good leaders,” sophomore Christian Mead said. “They are always trying to get the best out of our team.”
