Maya Rosado is a senior captain on the Jonathan Law Girls lacrosse team. Advocate Sports Gabriel Garnett interviewed Rosado about the upcoming lacrosse season.

Gabriel Garnett: What are your goals for the upcoming season? 

Maya Rosado: My goals for the upcoming season as a team is to make states and work together and communicate more. Individually, I hope to score more goals than last season and win the draw as much as I can.

GG: How has the team been preparing for this season?

MR: The team has been preparing for this season by having pre-season captains’ practices and conditioning. We try to get as many girls to play in the off-season as possible so everyone is ready for our first game.

GG: What is your favorite part about playing lacrosse? 

MR: My favorite part about playing lacrosse is getting to spend almost every day with the team and forming new friendships through the sport. It’s fun to play different schools and see a lot of people I’ve played with in the past.

GG: What do you think is going to be your biggest challenge this season?

MR: I think that our biggest challenge is going to be dealing with a lot of changes with a new coach and brand new goalie. We will face a lot of good teams that have more experienced players than us and we need to work together to face that.

GG: Are you going to continue playing lacrosse after high school? 

MR: I have not yet committed to a school. I have the opportunity to continue lacrosse at a few different schools but have not made a decision where I will be attending. If I decide to go to a school where I can’t play lacrosse for the NCAA I will still definitely play club.
