 Welcome to the coaches corner. I'm Joe Wamba joined now with Graham Miller head coach of the women's soccer team Don't play last week, but plenty to talk about upsetting number six Arcadia on Saturday three to two at home. Yeah, it was you know We had it had their bye week for the conference and you know, we came off that tough tie to Albright So, you know, we had a lot to work on last week, you know We weren't firing on all cylinders against Albright and you know to get a tie there was you know A little bit unexpected for us because we did expect to win that game So this week we really had a chance to prepare and you know, watch the film on Arcadia Who's a you know great always been a great program and just having a great season, you know They're coming into our game, you know number six like you said in the country 14 and 0 You know only you know, I think I scored their opponent something ridiculous over the last six games So we knew it was going to be tough and we had to do a lot of preparation to get ready for Saturday And it was just an amazing performance by the girls and that preparation definitely paid off a lot on the set pieces As it was where you guys got your conversions on the goals talk a little bit of how important those pieces are and even a long throw in Is huge for you. Well, you know the big thing about set pieces is we didn't have that last year And you know when you're playing against these really good teams, you know one goal might be it You know one goal and you know might be the difference And you know we weren't able to grind those results out last year and get those goals when we needed them So, you know the first goal against Arcadia, you know from open play and but then the next two You know a free kick and a long throw in and we've we've got those weapons So we got to use them, you know, that's one of our strengths and you know if teams want to defend against us on them Then you know so be it so you know don't give up long throw ins But yeah, this is something that we have worked on all season, you know Once we had brought Elena into the team as a freshman We knew she had the long throw and it's something we've got better on as the seasons went on and Looking forward to playing again another really good team and ranked opponent in Messiah at home tomorrow night Yeah, and it comes quickly. So we knew this was gonna be a tougher stretch, you know And as we get you know every game in and in conference is tough because everybody wants to make the playoffs But to go from the number 16 to the I think number 12 or 12 team in the country It's and Messiah the defending conference champions. So with little rest we got to be ready to go again tomorrow But you know, I'm just so proud of the effort from on Saturday to go into that game and show no fear and be brave And we got to do all over again tomorrow. So if the girls are ready for it I'm ready for it and we'll give it our best shot and keeping up a lot of excitement coming off of this game Hopefully rolling into the game tomorrow night and then on to Friday night with the senior night Yeah, and that's gonna be another big one, you know alvernia, you know They're right on the outskirts of the the playoff situation So they're gonna be looking to come in here on Friday and you know upset our seniors and you know upset the Balance and give us give us a loss at home and you know, we got to be ready for that So, you know as well as Messiah tomorrow, and we're taking it one game at a time We will then regroup and come Wednesday be ready again to prepare for alvernia and honor our three seniors You know Jess Demko, Alexis Sejak and Jordan Pareto have been great ambassadors for this program And and I'm excited to see them off on you know Friday for the the last home Maybe the last home senior, you know game for them Well coach, I appreciate your time and good luck rolling out with this momentum in in homecoming week. Thanks We'll cope to keep it going He's grandmiller. I'm Joe Wamba and this has been the coach's corner villa fast
