Soccer Stars and Hockey Heroes
A new term begins, and our law teams are back on the courts, fields, and rinks representing the power of justice in the world of sport. In today’s issue we catch up with our Co-Ed Hockey and Soccer teams on how they did last season.
Soccer (1-2-2)
Despite starting off with some losses, the Co-Ed Soccer team found its footing and gained momentum throughout the term.
Co-Captain Hannah Johnson describes the last game, the team’s first win of the season, as the highlight.
Johnson also noted that while the MVP of the team changes week to week, those who played goalie get a special shout-out for their hard work. In particular, Matt Wiwatowski, Andrew Easto, and Giancarlo Discenza were brave (or dare I say, foolish) enough to put their bodies on the line for the team.
While they failed to make the playoffs, Johnson is excited for the new indoor season because, in addition to the positive momentum they gained from the first semester, the team will be bolstered by the students returning from exchange. Hopefully their travels have not taken them out of game-shape.
Hockey (Intramural Champions)
The Co-Ed Hockey team joined both the Co-Ed and Men’s Law Football teams as intramural champions last season, successfully defending their status as 2018 champions. Defenceman Rachael Girolametto-Prosen says that while winning the banner was a highlight, simply playing with this group was a highlight in itself.
She stressed that everyone plays an integral role on the team by bringing their own strengths every week. A few players she commended include leading goal-scorers Robbie Marks and Patrick Pinho, and Caitlin and Erran Lee, whose addition has bolstered the team’s depth on defence.
The team has wasted no time in the new season by winning their first game. With a group of 3Ls returning from exchange, the team will turn its sights on defending its title for the third season in a row.
