The Law girls lacrosse team is halfway through their spring season, scoring goals and playing impressive defense. Advocate Social Media Editor Fiorella Gargiulo interviewed Senior Captain Nadia Nuzzo about the team and the remaining season.

FG: As a captain, what do you hope to teach others?

NN: As a captain, I hope to teach my teammates what it means to be a part of a team. I want my impact to last for this team by leading with hard work, determination, hustle, and respect for each other. I want them to learn that it’s not all about winning but putting in the time and effort when we’re here.

FG: How do you lead on the field, as a defender?

NN: On the field I lead by most importantly picking up my teammates when we’re down. After every point we like to get in a small huddle to discuss the previous pay and talk about what we can work on. I help my teammates when they have questions or just need a little picking up.

FG: What makes lacrosse different from other sports?

NN: The biggest difference in girls lacrosse is the level of communication required. On defense, 90% of it is communication with the other 10% being footwork. Working together is a big part of succeeding in this sport and putting in your whole effort when you’re on ball.

FG: As a senior, how do you keep motivation through a spring sport?

NN: What is keeping me motivated throughout this spring season is knowing that this is the last high school sport I will play. Knowing this pushes me to try a little bit harder than usual in drills at practice and during my games. As well as enjoying the time I have with my team and other seniors.

FG: What are you hoping to achieve for the rest of the season?

NN: For this season I am hoping to build our program further than we have already come. My goal this year isn’t to win during a state championship, but small achievable goals throughout the season.  Wether that be winning the ground, more caused turnovers, or even keeping our energy consistent through the whole game.
