Jonathan Law’s girls lacrosse team finished their season with a record of 3-13.

The girls started off the season with a new coach and many new players and tried to adjust to the changes. 

“It was difficult having a brand new coach two weeks before the season started and a lot of new girls to the sport but it was a learning experience for all of us,” sophomore Chloe Konareski said. 

However, the team tried to make the best of the situation and managed to accomplish many things still.

“Our team won 2 home games and 3 games overall,” Konareski said. “Our team also accomplished getting our coach, Kevin Wielk, his first win as a coach at Jonathan Law.”

The team made many memories over the season and made the season enjoyable for the seniors.

“My favorite memory of lacrosse has been this season’s game against North Haven,” senior Maya Rosado said. “It was our first win of the season and I scored 5 goals.”

The team continued to persevere grow throughout the season and they are excited for next year.

“We had some tough games this year, but our record doesn’t reflect the hard work these girls put forth in practice every day,” assistant coach Maci Mursko said. “At any level of sports, the concept of improvement is a continuous cycle.”

The returning members tried their best to help the new players transition smoothly.

“I really focused on supporting the girls who had just started lacrosse this year and just being there for teammates,” junior Helen Chizmazia. “I really enjoyed getting to build new friendships and making the best out of games or practices.”

This season also allowed players to personally grow and improve.

“I ended the season with 91 goals for my entirety of last year and this year’s season as a sophomore,” Konareski said. “My goals are to play at the next level which starts with high school and club season but I think that our new coach helped me improve and start to reach my future goals.”

Junior Zoe Johnson also hit a milestone this season and aims to continue to work hard.

“I think I personally improved significantly as I had gotten 100 goals this past season and was able to come back to the sport after I had an injury,” Johnson said.
