 Glenn Clark with head coach Graham Miller after Stevenson knocks off Chatham five at nil in the first round of the ECAC championship coach Imagine this is exactly how you drew it off. That's it. I had that planned last night, you know, so gotta be pretty happy You know the ECACs is you know, you know, there's good competition You know, we we don't play teams like Chatham because they're not in our region So I was gonna be interested and we didn't have a scout on them And we just told the girls we got to do what we've been doing in practice all week Which is you know working hard and setting the tone not just for to end this season, but for you know for next year You know, it's funny because when when you fall short in your conference tournament I would imagine you got to wonder how the girls are going to respond So for them to come out and score twice in the first five minutes of this game That's got to be a pretty big statement for you about where your girls are Yeah, and that's exactly what we needed You know, we were you know, we had a tough one against Arcadia And you know, it's always tough to end on a loss You know, most teams do end up on a loss, you know Except for the national champion or the the ECAC champion So for us it was all about this week was you know, what you know, yeah, we made this we made a championship We're gonna go for that trophy. We're gonna, you know, go for first place and You know, we're gonna forget about last week and set the tone for next year And the girls, you know, you seen that the first five minutes, you know You got to get up early, especially at home And we've always said that can we get a goal early and we and we did Is it more meaningful for a group that didn't get to go to the post season last year? Could you sense that, you know, this meant more to them because they didn't have any post season play a year ago? Yeah, I mean, you know, we've been now eight in the last nine years and you're right Last year was the only year we didn't go because we didn't have the record So, you know, this gives the seniors some extra playing time It gives our younger players some experience what post season is all about Because, you know, everybody else is playing in the NCAAs today So, you know, this shows that this is where we want We want our season to continue into the middle of November later November And I think, you know, this this kind of championship only benefits our team We got 30 players in the day's match I know you're keeping fresh legs because now you got another one tomorrow And it's not going to be easy against a really good Grove City team And, you know, they're the number one seed And, you know, being able to get those two goals in the first five minutes Allowed us to be able to play 30 players And to take, you know, take our chances when they came to us And the girls did that and that's what we needed today Especially, you know, Grove City played before us They got a little bit longer rest than we do You know, they're a really good team And they're obviously the number one seed for a reason So, you know, we're going to be ready for them tomorrow And, yeah, getting 30 players, giving them the opportunity to step up as well I thought it was a great overall team performance Good question Really good win today Guaranteed you finish over 500 for the season now So a lot of good Compared to last year, that feels really good Hey, coach, congratulations on a big win We'll see you back here tomorrow Thanks, clan, as always Coach Graham Miller inside the huddle sfmsports.net
