The Jonathan Law girls soccer team was a force to be reckoned with this season.
The team broke the school record for regular season wins, finished with a record of 13-3, and qualified for the SCC and State tournaments. Sophomore Emily Vella scored 20 goals – the most goals in a single season in Law girls soccer history.
“I am beyond proud of my team this season,” Head Coach Mrs. Francisco said. “Even if we didn’t make it far in the State Tournament, we still accomplished so many things this season.”
Senior Captain Taylor Coretti said that this was her most memorable soccer season.
“I think my senior season was the best out of all four seasons,” Coretti said. “This is because we had a winning record and I felt confident in my playing. I think having a strong team play beside you helped me a lot with my own personal play.”
Senior Madelyn Baranowsky said she was proud of how she was able to set an example for the younger players. Baranowsky is sad to see her career end, but was proud of what the team accomplished.
“I was able to set an example of working hard to meet our goals while also having fun,” Baranowsky said. “What I will miss most about Jonathan Law is the great community and school spirit.”
Junior Molly Croce is extremely proud of the work done by the team this season.
“I think this season went very well,” Croce said. “We had a lot of success even though we had many injuries. We qualified for both the State and SCC tournaments, along with breaking the school record for regular season wins. Overall, I would say this season was pretty successful and we really came together as a team this season.”
Freshman Cora Aitkenhead said she is excited for the future of the girls soccer team.
“There’s no doubt that law is heading in a great direction,” Aitkenhead said. “Every single player on the team put in tremendous effort this season and we’re already looking forward to a strong season-finishing comeback next year. While we’ll be losing many talented seniors, playing in their honor will only fuel our drive to win, and our coaches’ expertise and passion will continue to be crucial to our growth. The best is yet to come.”
