The boys soccer team kicked off their season on September 3 against Lyman hall and is excited for their upcoming season.

The Lawmen are led by captains Tyler Stankevich, Maxwell Moller, Aarush Katyal, and Cole Alogna. Their next game will be Thursday, September 11 against Notre Dame West Haven here at Lawmen Stadium. 

Law lost two close games to start the year, but plans on using these early challenges as fuel to push harder for the rest of the season.

“I know we have the talent to turn things around,” junior Tyler Stankevich said. “If we stay ready and keep our energy high, we can compete with anyone we go against.”

Head coach Mr. Gruber is also confident that the early setbacks will prepare the team for the battles ahead.

“Our league is usually tough, but these tough games help us improve,” Gruber said. “The more pressure we face now, the more prepared we’ll be for later in the season.”

The players have been working hard since preseason to build chemistry and strengthen their style of play.

“We’ve put in a lot of hours together, and I feel like we’re starting to click,” junior Maxwell Moller said. “We just need to stay sharp in practice so that it shows in our games.”

The team also has younger players stepping into bigger roles after last year’s graduating seniors moved on.

“It’s been awesome to see the younger guys step up,” junior Cole Alogna said. “They’re bringing energy and effort every day, and that’s exactly what we need to be successful this season.”

Thee Lawmen are optimistic that they can grow into a dangerous team as the season progresses.

“I’m excited to see how this group develops,” Gruber said. “They have the right attitude, and I believe if they stick together, they can achieve something special this year.”
