The best part of the season is not the wins, but the love for the game and the memories they create along the way. “They encouraged us, listened when we needed support, and made sure everyone felt seen and heard,” sophomore Zayra Garcia expressed. The supportive environment that the coaches and seniors have created has helped the team trust each other and feel comfortable. The support the players receive extends from teammates to their families and coaches. Ha-Trinh gave a special shoutout to her mother, Gina Tembreza, for always motivating her. “She has so much pride and support for me just playing on the team, giving me motivational speeches and debrief sessions after games. It truly gives me motivation to push for improvement,” said HaTrinh. She also recognized coaches Rebecca Krigman and Ashley Laramie for helping her become more confident as both a player and a leader. “Over the years, they’ve developed not just as athletes, but as people. They’ve matured into confident, disciplined, and resilient leaders who understand the value of hard work, teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship,” Malden Head Coach Rebecca Krigman said. 1.
