This month, the Law girls lacrosse team has been back on the turf practicing to get ready for yet another season. 

After finishing 7-10 last year, the team has high hopes for a great upcoming season.

Head Coach Chloe Oliver has been particularly excited to see all of the new and returning talent coming to the team this year. 

“The new players have expressed an eagerness and excitement for the game which is all a coach can ask for,” Oliver said. “Returning players have fostered a sense of community early in the season that only will continue to strengthen their team culture and lacrosse IQ.”

Senior captain Chloe Konareski said the team is very cohesive heading into the season.

“I’m super excited for the new season,” Konareski said. “After every year having new coaches, it’s nice to be familiar with the same staff which I believe will be a big component in our play. We’re all excited to welcome the many new freshmen to the team and are ready yo keep building while hopefully making it to the postseason.

Assistant Coach Mr. Beardsley has loved all of the team bonding and new energy the team is providing this year. 

“My favorite thing about coaching the girls lacrosse team is seeing the players grow, both as athletes and as individuals,” Beardsley said. “Watching them develop their skills, build confidence, and support one another throughout the season is incredibly rewarding.”

Freshman Mia Ricca is looking forward to the new high school lacrosse environment, expressing her love for the team and the sport. 

“As a team we’ve been doing great, I am looking forward to improving communication skills on the field,” Ricca said, “It has inspired me to continue working my hardest and become a stronger player on and off the field.”

Freshman Emma Heinmiller is also excited for the new dynamics of the upcoming season. 

“I am looking forward to meeting my new teammates and being able to improve my skills,” Heinmiller said. 

As the girls inch closer to their first game, they have been packing great energy into every practice. 

“This year’s team has a fantastic mix of talent, leadership, and enthusiasm,” Beardsley said. “The returning players have stepped up as leaders, while the new players have brought energy and a willingness to learn.”

Law has its first game of the season on April 5 at 10 a.m. against Lyman Hall.
