The Jonathan Law volleyball team recently ended their season with a record of 7-13. 

The team saw many improvements from last year, including winning three more matches. Varsity Head Coach Ms. Loch felt the team’s dynamic played a role in their success this season.    

“Our team has a great dynamic,” Loch said. “They are hard working and very supportive of each other, and it helps the girls maintain a positive mindset throughout the game.”  

Senior Captains Maddie Benedetti, Nadia Nuzzo, and Lily Plieman played a huge role in the team’s dynamic and success.  

“Their energy and how much they supported us helped us to join together and win games,” sophomore Cayleigh Gylnn said. “They also were very welcoming and made us feel at home.”

Nuzzo finishes her final season at Law. She enjoyed her season and how close the team was. 

“On and off the court no matter what we were all always there for each other,” Nuzzo said. “Whether it be us helping each other shaking off a mistake or just cheering up, throughout the season we become one big family.” 

The team continued to improve as the season progressed.

“Our team has grown in many ways,” Benedetti said. “We all improved in our skills, but also our communication improved as a team which is key for success.”

The team had several memorable wins this year. Nuzzo’s favorite is the second time they got to play against West Haven. 

“The first time we played West Haven was in the beginning of the season, so the second time we got the chance to show them how we had improved,” Nuzzo said. “West Haven is one of the better teams we played this season, and through heightened emotions throughout the game we were able to pull out a win in the fifth set.” 

Junior Chloe Capablo played volleyball her freshman year but didn’t play her sophomore year. She played again this year and loved the atmosphere. 

“Everyone really supported each other and always cheered for one another on a good play or was there to pick up someone if they made a mistake” Capablo said. 

The volleyball team looks forward to seeing more improvements next year. They all have a common goal that they hope to achieve. 

“Next season, I think everyone’s goal is to make the SCC and States,” Loch said.
