Sophomore Alex Konlian helped the Law boys lacrosse team finish their season with a 5-11 record.

Konlian finished the season with 16 goals in 16 games. In addition to his scoring, he contributed 14 assists, making a large impact on the offensive side of the team.

“I feel like I had a lot of assists this season and was able to get the ball to everyone on the field,” Konlian said.

Despite Konlian’s individual success, he was disappointed that the team didn’t finish the year on a winning note.

“I don’t think the season went the way we wanted it to,” Konlian said. “We really shut down the last half of the season.”

One of Konlian’s standout performances came against Ledyard. He scored four goals and four assists, leading the team to victory 11-6.

As just a sophomore, Konlian is expected to be a key member of the team next season, bringing scoring vision, and experience to the offense.

“Alex played attack during his sophomore season, whereas he played midfield his freshman year,” Head Coach Frank Skawinski said. “Alex was able to challenge many opposing teams’ best defenders, opening the way for other players to have more scoring opportunities.”

Before the season, Konlian switched positions, allowing him to show his full offensive capabilities, creating mismatches and drawing teams top defenders. This opened space for other offensive players, elevating team play.

“Alex is a threat because of his quickness, stick skills, and lacrosse IQ,” Assistant Coach Manuel Rosales said. “His ability to dodge and draw slides sets up others to get open for shots on goal.”

Konlian’s advanced lacrosse IQ and presence on the field forces other teams to adjust their defensive strategies.

“Alex is a challenge for defenses because not only for drawing slides but if those are missed he gets open for shots on goal,” Rosales said. “His powerful shot and his ability will draw the best defenders from other teams to guard him, which take them out of their defensive scheme.”

Konlians impact isn’t just during games, but in practice, too. 

“Alex is very challenging to guard in practice,” sophomore Charlie Gombrewicz said. “ He challenges everyone on the defense, getting us better.”

His teammates said Konlian always kept a positive attitude.

“Even when things didn’t go our way during the season, Alex kept his energy up and didn’t stop competing,” sophomore Eli Frenandez said.
