As the Law softball team reaches the midway point of its season, sophomore Julia Scibek is already making an impact, getting off to a strong start both at the plate and in the field. 

Scibek has been a standout player for Law, delivering strong performances and showcasing her skill. Her early season success was recognized with the Hummel Hot Dog Player of the Game awarded in their recent game against North Haven. She was also named the CHSCA Position Player of the Week. 

“She is so coachable and a student of the game and to think she is only a sophomore,” Head Coach Mrs. Blude said. “We are so blessed to have so much more time with her.”

At the start of the season, the team set many goals to work towards as they progress through the year, focusing on team growth and collective success. 

“A big goal for our team is playing as a team and keeping as much energy as we can,” Scibek said. “The more we play as a team, the better we do and the energy just emphasizes that.” 

As a freshman last year, Scibek was challenged to become more vocal in order to strengthen both her performance and her leadership role on the team.

“I challenged Julia last year to come out of comfort zone and become more vocal on the field and she has risen to the challenge and is one of the most vocal on the field right now,” Blude said. 

Scibek’s relentless work ethic has made a lasting impression on her teammates, inspiring those around her to push themselves harder and setting a standard for the entire team to follow. 

“Julia is one of the hardest working players on the team this year,” Junior Captain Charlotte Doyle said. “We can always count on her to come up big.”

The hard work Scibek put in during the offseason is what stands out most to her coaches. 

“She works so hard in the off season with softball, strength, speed, and agility training,” Blude said. “She has emerged to be one of the best players in the league already.” 

Blude deeply values Scibek’s focus and relentless pursuit of excellence. She believes that Scibek’s dedication not only elevates her own performance but also sets an example for the rest of the team. 

“Julia is so focused, knows what she wants and will do whatever it takes to get there,” Blude said.
