This season, the Law boys lacrosse team welcomed a new player to the roster – junior Nick Cosmas, who is playing the sport for the first time.
Although it’s his rookie year, Cosmas has already shown determination and scored his first varsity goal against Wilbur cross.
“I knew lacrosse was going to be fun, and I also saw it as a way to improve my athletic skills,” Comas said. “It’s my first season playing, so I thought it was a good opportunity to try something new and get in shape for football.”
Juniors Jack Lefevre and Comas, who are both new to lacrosse, work hard every day and help each other improve.
“We help each other improve by doing things like partner passing, conditioning drills, and other workouts that really push us to get better,” Lefevre said. “Whether it’s practicing stick skills or running to build endurance.”
Junior Roman Belbita helped Cosmas with his playing style.
‘I’m helping him with his game IQ on top of general stick skills, and helping his overall knowledge of the sport and he’s adapted really well to mine and everyone’s help,” Belbita said. “He’s been really open to learning and has adapted quickly to the advice I’ve given as well as the support from the rest of the team.”
Senior Captain Evan Nash is also helping Cosmas to grow as a player and he has a good impact on the team.
“I’ve been working closely with Cosmas this season, and it’s been great to see how much he’s growing as a player,” Nash said. “He listens, asks the right questions, and puts in the workmanlike attitude that makes the team better. It’s about making sure we’re all improving and pushing each other to be better every day and Cosmas is definitely stepping up.
Senior Tucker Donegan said that when Cosmas joined the team, he made everyone better.
“Nick has been a great addition to the team,” Donegan said. “He’s a very good teammate and a great morale booster. Nick is also a talented athlete and has stepped up a huge way in important game situations.”
