 Welcome to the Torrey Emhoff show presented by Buffalo Wildwings. I'm Sam Murray joined now with Stevenson women's ice hockey head coach Torrey Emhoff and coach let's talk about that playoff run Come from behind in the win against at Newman at Newman in the quarterfinals, and then you do take on top seed at fifth ranked Elmira Close game there to talk about your team's performance Well Newman we all went in with the mindset You know we're winning this game. It was revenge for us We we kind of counted it as our as a redemption game seeing as all of our competitions against Elmira didn't go in our favor In the season, so we wanted to guarantee this win so we kind of went in with a lot of fight for that game and Inevitably ended up winning which was great Facing Elmira, you know we had earlier in the season a great run against Elmira, you know the 2-1 loss We were proud of the way we played, you know how we showed up our mentality our effort through the whole you know game and We showed up with that same mentality for playoffs and it's playoffs anything could happen, and I think you know in the room we were really excited to be there and We put our best effort forward and you know when you make mistakes against a team like that they capitalize on it So even though we only made a few mistakes here and there when you play a fifth ranked team, you know They capitalize on those so we're proud of the way we performed Now that you had a couple days to kind of digest the season your first season Mm-hmm, you know just talk about it as a whole you know you make the playoffs in your first year After taking over team that missed the playoffs last year. What's the biggest takeaway that you're taking away from the season? Well, you know the last couple days I have been processing, you know first season everything we accomplished And it's kind of unbelievable what we were able to do You know making playoffs is was a goal We said at the beginning of the season. So we were really proud to Hit that goal Coming in from break, you know, we were actually had a losing record, right after after winter break so our goal was just to kind of correct that first secure our spot for playoffs and It was really just the work that the team put in day in and day out each week we prepped for competition and We we played to win. So I think that's what got us there Turn the page to the next year and you know, you do lose a good senior class But you have a lot of young players coming back You know particularly Carly Aguirre who was you know named to all conference team all rookie team on the UCHC You know Gibi and Teja Ferrera all those young players What are these players have to do to kind of continue the success that you started this year, you know I think what we're trying to do is instilled from You know our seniors to to our freshmen from top down I think that you know, it's going to be a huge loss for us losing our seniors Not just on the ice but off the ice, you know, they were a huge part. They were the heart of the team So stepping into those roles I think is going to be a little bit more challenging than kind of the on ice performance on ice, you know We flow we work hard, you know, we do everything we can to make that happen But the real loss I think is going to be kind of making up for that off ice feel with those seniors Well coach congratulations on your first season and successful year I wish you the best of luck in the off season and in recruiting and we'll see you back here next year Thank you for head coach Tori Amoff.
