 Welcome to the Laura Martin show. I'm Sam Murray joined with Stevenson field hockey head coach Laura Martin Two wins last week and an exciting over time double overtime win versus Shenandoah 3-2 And then you get the 2-0 win at home versus goucher, right talk about those games So the goucher game was excited because that's turned into as I mentioned before quite quite the rivalry So I felt like we Had possession of the ball the majority of the match and really controlled the tempo of the game And we put the ball in the net when we needed to so I was pretty pleased with that game in general Yeah, and then the Shenandoah game Double overtime. Yeah, Noel Martin finds the back of the net. She gets two game winners this week past week Talk about that game so that was a bit of a challenge their field is slow and our team has a lot of speed and Fast stick skill and that kind of changed the momentum flow We had to adjust our style of play because of the field And field hockey is an unusual sport not too many sports run into that scenario in your pool your swimming and water You know, but for field hockey the surface is huge and that that was an adjustment and it was really hot and They were a physical team and we had to play really hard So the fact that we secured the overtime win was was wonderful much needed But it was a battle I can tell you that it was a battle. So it was a good game We talk a lot about the youth in the that freshman class But someone in the junior class Sarah McVeigh scores twice this past week sophomore Tana Ridgley gets a goal Talk about the this the distribution of goal scoring that you have Yeah, I mean, I think that's huge if you look at the teams that find a lot of success Especially throughout the years historically strong. They typically don't just have one goal scorer There's a kid that usually puts the ball in the net They have a high score of course everyone does but there's a spread in the points and that's what we're looking to do And that's what we're starting to see so we have kids coming off the bench that are adding some points And and we have some strong returners and and obviously the youth. So it's it's it's exciting It's good news for the future Talking about the future this week on Wednesday you travel to Rowan a tough tough matchup You guys nearly beat them on your home field last year Yes, but they're four and three but those three losses are all against ranked or teams that are receiving votes, right? They're very strong and they just defeated FDU yesterday and FDU I think had one loss now two losses So they're a significant team and this will be a battle. They're always contenders Normally nationally ranked just shy getting some votes, but not in the mix yet So I anticipate a tough battle for us And then that kind of sets you up for Saturday first conference game of the year at Albright Another team who two and three, but they've also played a couple teams that are receiving votes I think York maybe what was one of them What do you expect or what do you hope for your team as you open conference play? I mean, that's obviously huge Albright coming into that game is backed into a little bit of a corner because they've had some losses so they're gonna want to start conference play with the win and And they have that home court advantage So we're gonna have to be strong and if we execute our game and the game plan We will find success against a tough conference and a tough opponent But we're gonna have to make sure we we do the things properly that we plan to do Oh, we wish you best of luck as you're on your four game road trip Hope to see you back here soon at Mustang Stadium. She's Laura Martin. I'm Sam Murray and you've been watching the Laura Martin show
