The Jonathan Law boys soccer team concluded their regular season with a 5-6-5 record. 

The 27th-seeded Lawmen now advance to the Class M State Tournament against 6th-seed Bulkeley on Tuesday, November 7. The team is excited to make it to states, and they are proud of their accomplishments thus far. 

“We had some struggles in the first half of the season, but we were able to turn it around in the second half, and finish strong by stacking results,” senior captain Cooper Fitzgerald said. “Now we take everything day by day to best prepare for the State Tournament.” 

Following the regular season, the team has continued to practice everyday to prepare for the upcoming State Tournament.

“During the postseason, we have been working on our mindset so that we can go into states with the best chance,” senior captain Eliot Melgar said. 

Reflecting on the first half of the season allowed the Lawmen to improve in the second half. Whether it was mindset or game strategy, they honed in on aspects that would ultimately help them in the long run. 

“It was a good season overall,” junior Christian Meade said. “It started out rough but we worked hard to ultimately get eight results in a row at the end of the season, allowing us to go to states.” 

Many goals were set at the beginning of the season to give players things to work on. 

“A lot of my personal goals as well as goals that I had for the team were met this year,” senior Declan Wywoda said. 

The team believes they have improved throughout the season. 

“We struggled with team chemistry in the beginning of the season with a lot of new players; however, as the season went on, we adapted and were able to play better,” junior Alex Rodriguez said.
