 Hello and welcome to the Jackie Boswell show. I'm Joe Wamba joined now with, of course, head coach of the women's basketball team, Jackie Boswell. And coach, you guys go out for the first game of the season. Big game, beating number 24, Stevens. Yeah, I mean, it was exciting on the road. You just got to be anxious a little bit about to see how we're going to play on the road. And I thought we did a really good job. I told our team in the beginning I was concerned about the first two minutes to see if we were going to be nervous or if we can get that nervous energy out pretty quick. And I thought we did a good job with that. Jumped on the board right away. You guys absolutely did. And it was a defensive game. And you guys played defensive correctly, not fouling a lot. Yeah, I mean, that's going to be our point of emphasis this year. We want to be one of the best defensive teams in our conference. And I thought we did a really good job. They have an All-American who's a phenomenal player. And I thought that our two defenders did a really good job on her. And then, like you said, the key really with the game change in the women's game is to not get to that five fouls too early in the quarter or you're shooting a double bonus. There is no more one-on-one. So obviously, at the end of the game there, that helped us by being able to stay in the lead and then get to the free throw line and convert some of those free throws. And another thing that helped you guys on the scoring end on the defensive side was the takeaways and getting points off of those takeaways. Yeah, we worked really hard on trying to force turnovers. I thought we forced them into a lot of turnovers. And we're able to, like you said, convert on those. And it just makes our offensive game a whole lot easier and makes us a little bit harder to fend in transition. Now let's talk about the week ahead. Today, you guys travel up to Salisbury for that Eastern Shore rivalry we got going on with them. What is it that you're going to be emphasizing on that game today? It's going to be the same thing. We want to put a lot of pressure on our guards. We want to make sure that we front their post players so that they don't get some easy touches. We just want to make everything as difficult as possible. Trying to reverse the ball. Trying to get in the passing lanes all the time. Trap when we can. That's going to hopefully be our MO this year as well. And that's the game plan going into tonight. And two more games to talk about this weekend. You've got the first home games with FDU Florm and then Marymount on Sunday. Yeah, it should be an exciting weekend. I hope when everybody comes out to watch us and nice Thanksgiving holiday weekend, you know, going to be two tough games as well. I think both teams, FDU and Marymount are both playing really well right now. And it's going to be a good match up. And this is the way we want our preseason to be. We want to play against the best teams. Get you ready for that conference stretch of the season. That will be so important once we hit December. Yeah, and I mean, we start right away next Wednesday. So I do think that our four preseason games right now are really going to set the tone for our conference play. Well, coach, we wish you the best of luck tonight on Saturday and Sunday. We'll be watching all those games. Thank you very much. She's Jackie Boswell. I'm Joe Wambin. This has been the Jackie Boswell Show.
