The Jonathan Law softball team finished the regular season with a record of 14-6, qualifying them for the SCC and State tournaments.
The Law softball team has been led by four captains: seniors Haley Strofolino and Madyson Bull and juniors Emily Roos and Charlotte Doyle.
“I’m excited to get the post-season started after having a very successful season this year,” Stroffolino said. “The rest of the girls are very excited and we are looking to go far in the State Tournament.”
Head Coach Ms. Blude is very proud of how the team is doing throughout the season and is optimistic about continuing it during the postseason.
“The team is doing great this year on and off the field,” Blude said. “I have no doubt that this team can’t continue what they are doing now during the postseason.”
Law opened the Class L State Tournament with an 18-0 win over Naugatuck on June 2. Their next game is at St. Joseph’s on June 4.
Bull, who is committed to Saint Michael’s University in the fall, helped the Lawmen on the mound in one the team’s biggest wins this season against previously-undefeated Waterford.
“One of my goals for myself is to pitch my best on the mound and help my team however I can,” Bull said. “My main goal for the team is to keep our energy up no matter what and to make it deep in the State Tournament.”
Freshman Gabby Rodriguez was a key contributor on offense for Law this season. Rodriguez said she enjoyed her first softball season.
“My favorite part about joining the team is the friendships I have strengthened by being with my teammates all the time,” Rodriguez said. “I love that I joined a team where everyone is good friends with each other. I love playing in games with them, joking at practices, and going on car rides along with long bus rides with them.”
