 Welcome back to the Graham Miller show presented by Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm Sam Murray joined now with Stevenson men's soccer head coach Graham Miller and coach Been a little bit of a touch tough stretch for you the last two weeks pair one nothing losses And then that one one tie versus Weiner last Saturday Are there certain things that you can pinpoint looking at those games like these are the things that gone wrong have Went wrong and now we can fix them. Yeah Well, I think if we if we take the two one the game against Al Verde and the game against Weiner We were by far the better team in both those games You know we actually I'll verna 18 to 6 up of their place and we lose a goal off a corner And then you we turn around a Weiner just last week and another very important game And we didn't lose that one but you know tying one one again I was shooting them 22 to 6 and we give up a goal off a corner So for is obviously those two those two games were decided by set pieces and our minds and we got to be better Defending corners and be hungry on the box on defense the like-homing game You know again, it was the first minute It was a first start by us and just a great, you know a cross into the box that we should have dealt with so Something we really need to work on in the defensive side is dealing with crosses What's the message that you give to these players, you know, you know Mentally might be as tough stretch for them, but like you said you're out playing these teams What's the message that you give to the guys? Well, I think that comes from a young team You know, I think we've we've really, you know played a lot of really good teams this year And we and we're getting better and it was always going to be tough in conference You can put in good performances, which I think we have But then the results don't show and that's all part of being a soccer player So the message is that we have with two games left We our goal was to be in the top three if we win both games Then we're going to be in the top three and that was our goal all along So we've put herself in a position even with that tough stretch that we are still in the mix To where we want to be at the end of the regular season Yeah, you mentioned two games left not not easy games You're playing the top two teams in the conference right now messiah who you know fell out of the top 25 But they're back in it and Arcadia who's sitting in that second seed right now What do you have to do to come away with points in those games? Well, I think we have to be better on the roads, you know, we've we struggled on the road all season I think hood was probably our best one a couple of weeks ago So we've got to be ready obviously messiah is a tough ask But if we want to be in the top three that's a team that we've got a challenge with the same as Arcadia And both of them are obviously already qualified for the playoffs I don't think they're gonna take as lightly But we have more to play play for we need to be in the playoffs and we need results against both teams So for us, we should be hungrier We should be more committed and we just kind of stick to our game plans And we'll prepare the same as we do for every game and and hopefully the guys come out ready to go Well coach, wish you the best of luck in those two games this week and hopefully in the playoffs next week. Thanks, Sam For head coach Graham Miller, I'm Sam Murray and this has been the Graham Miller show
