 Green Turtle Classic powered by SFM sports net Glenn Clark with you and now join here post game by Cabrini head coach Steve Colfer After a 7-4 loss to Stevenson here tonight coach You are up 3-1 at the end of the first quarter How much of what happened from there was about what Stevenson did defensively versus what you guys weren't able to do offensively Yeah, I would give most credit to Stevenson's defense. I thought their defense played great and I thought their goal We played great. I was just joking with them here in the hallway. I said tell me That's the most saves you had all season in the game. He said he thinks it is what makes me feel a little better But I thought he played great and I thought defensively they just clamped down on us You know, we're we're very young on offense You know, we play for freshman a lot of times and I think that showed a little bit But that's not a you know Stevenson to their credit played great, you know, I thought they played as a unit They played great. They didn't give us life You know, we didn't really ever get into a flow offensive I thought we moved the ball well in the first quarter and then all of a sudden that stopped and a lot of times That's more about what other teams are doing and then do we counter punch and how do we counter punch and we didn't do a great Job doing that. So hats off to them and to their defensive coaching staff and their players They just they put the clamps on us and we have to learn from it and and move forward and get ready to play tomorrow What can you do as a coach when you look down and you're out shooting your opponent? You're out ground balling. Yeah, you're dominating them in the face-off department There's nothing that you look at and say your goalie played well Tyler Morel Yeah, it's it's got to be tough to sort of look at all that stuff and say what what do what do we do better? Yeah I mean, I was joking again with with with coach he was up here and I just said look at the stat sheet You know and I said I mean that you know The game is different now because of the pace of play Yeah, because of the shot clock you play with a different mentality back in the day if you had 14 out of 15 Face-off wins there was just not enough possession time for another team to score goals to beat you now with the way The rules are played that that stat is not as overbearing as it once was So, you know, you got to take you got to finish your shots and we didn't do that and the one the good looks that we had Their goal we made saves, you know, and so you just got to keep shooting you got to keep trusting in your system and in your process and And that's really it. I mean, yeah, I mean trust me. We don't have Plays in the back of the playbook that we pull out in those situations You are what you are in those moments You got to go back and go to the right on the things that you do each day and tonight It just wasn't good enough and again the credit goes to Stevenson their coaching staff and their defensive players and and and And then they're often scored when they had to well You guys don't even get the full benefit of 24 hours before you have to get back out on the field And not only that but when you get back out on the field, you're gonna be facing. Oh Really really good team the number three team in the country Yeah, and they put a stay stress you because they just do something some things and and they're very good at some Things that not a lot of teams that you see play and so we knew that and we knew that coming in I said to our team all week no matter what happens this weekend We will be a better team Sunday regardless of what happens because of the challenge that this tournament puts on you physically mentally You know as a coaching staff as a play as a player, you know So those are the that's why these we come and that's why these other teams come because of that challenge Would you love to go home to an oh sure the best we can go home now is one-on-one And that's got to be our goal. We got to be one-on-one tomorrow We got to learn from tonight and move forward and and you know I'm confident in our kids, you know I think the best part about us being young is that they won't hold on to this very Yeah, you know that they just want to go they're gonna go home get a meal They're probably looking forward to pizza and hoagies and go home and you know get a shower relax And and we'll get up tomorrow have breakfast and start you know and re-engage our conversation about our it Well, Steve, I know it was a tough one We appreciate coming up and spending a couple of minutes with us best to look tomorrow I appreciate thank you very much from the green turtle classic.
