The Jonathan Law boys lacrosse team just finished their season with a record of 3-13.

The Lawmen beat Norwich Tech twice and West Haven once while battling injuries all season. 

“I’m really proud that we finally found our culture,” head coach Mike Ayala said. “Our routines have become concrete, and our expectations of ourselves and each other are also clear. We focused on being tough mentally and physically, being disciplined, and we understand the sacrifices we’re going to need to make in order to be competitive.”

One of the key injuries for the team this season was senior Matt Haggerty. Haggerty suffered a knee injury and had surgery just weeks before the season started.

“My biggest accomplishment of this season so far has been being able to slowly come back from a knee injury without any problems playing on a varsity level,” Haggerty said.

As the season went on, the boys said they grew as a team and a family.

“The boys have such a great bond and are very motivating to each other,” assistant coach Mike Loschiavo said. “Therefore it makes the atmosphere of coaching quite fun.” 

The Lawmen were led all season by senior Connor Chirico, who went Second Team All-SCC and scored his 100th career goal.

“The boys lacrosse program at Law has been great for my four years here,” Chirico said. “My favorite memory was the bus rides with the team.” 

Sophomore Tyler Davis was impressed with the progress the younger members of the team made.

“Our team’s biggest accomplishment this year was overcoming the seniors that we lost this year,” Davis said. “We had some important seniors that helped us win last year and we needed to fill those positions.”
