The Law girls soccer team kicked off their season on September 9.
The team currently has a record of 2-2 with wins over Lauralton Hall and North Haven and losses to Hand and Amity.
Law math teacher and head coach Mrs. Francisco is excited for what is to come this fall.
“Every season brings new challenges, but some always stay the same,” Francisco said. “Learning to play with new teammates and build a strong team chemistry is always the first challenge we want to tackle.”
Being a young team in the SCC with only two seniors starting is not easy, but Fransisco said it is promising to see how the underclassmen have stepped up this year.
“I am looking forward to seeing how the underclassmen step up this season,” Fransisco said. “With a team that currently only starts two seniors, it’s exciting to see how the younger players take charge not only on the field but within the SCC. We are definitely going to be turning some heads this season.”
Key players for the team so far this season include senior goalie Chloe Haasch, junior captain Maddy Baranowsky, sophomores Layla Alogna and Avery Moulton, and freshmen Sophie Kalagher and Emily Vella, who had two goals in the team’s win against North Haven.
Macy Tiche is one of the two seniors that start for the team and has high hopes in her personal goals this year to help the team.
“My goals are to make states, and further my soccer career in college,” Tiche said. “I would like to play club Division 1 or Division 2 soccer at a nice school somewhere down south.”
Junior Tessa Piselli is starting her third year on varsity and is excited for the soccer team to reach new heights this year.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how far our team goes, bonding with my teammates, and facing new teams and competitions,” Piselli said.
