Sophomore Avery Moulton was awarded First Team All-SCC honors for her performance during the fall soccer season.

Moulton helped lead Law to 11 regular season wins and a spot in the SCC and state tournaments. 

“This season was very successful,” Moulton said. “The team worked together well and we all bonded. We had our ups and downs but we were able to push through them. This season we all had more confidence and knew that if we put effort into practicing and getting better, it will lead to a winning record, which it did.”

Moulton said that two of the team’s goals this season were to make states and SCC and they achieved both. Additionally, Moulton’s personal goal of making All-SCC was a top priority that she successfully accomplished. 

“Avery has been a leader of our team this year,” head coach Mrs. Francisco said. “She got us out of trouble every game and her speed, ball control, and ability to win the ball out of the air, was one of the best in the league. She is more than deserving of an All-SCC award.”

Moulton is known to be a very hard worker and is respected by her teammates. 

“Avery is not only the most skilled player on the field, but she is also the most hardworking and determined,” sophomore Fiorella Gargiulo said. 

Junior captain Madelyn Baranowsky agreed.

“I think that Avery was deserving of this award because she was a smart and consistent player this year for our team,” Baranowsky said. “Avery benefited the team by putting 100% effort into practice and games.”

Moulton admitted struggling with confidence at the beginning of the season which affected her performance.

“Throughout the rest of the season, I would not get in my head and my confidence slowly got better,” Moulton said. 

When the team found out they qualified for SCCs, it was a moment of excitement for Moulton.

“When Coach Francisco told us that we made it, it was the highlight of my season,” Moulton said. “SCC is harder to make than states. To accomplish both, it is also very hard. These were definitely my favorite parts.”

Moulton was also a leader and set an example for some of the younger players on the team.

“Avery definitely deserved this award for not only being a leader on the field but also someone for everyone to look up to off the field,” freshman Sophie Kalagher said. “Avery benefits the team by being a reliable player who I know I can always count on to back me up in the center and someone who will also take her chances on the field.”
