 Hello, and welcome to the Jackie Boswell Show, presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Roy showing with Stevenson, head woman's basketball coach, Jackie Boswell. Coach, you had a chance, obviously, to compete in the postseason again last weekend. ECACs played Rutgers Camden at home on Wednesday in a game that you guys made a couple runs, and you had a couple 20-point leads. They came back, and I thought your team showed some resiliency in not panicking when Rutgers Camden made a couple runs, and you were able to pick up the victory. So kind of take us through that game. Yeah, you know, again, ECACs and postseason play is always really important. You get to play teams you wouldn't normally play in Rutgers Camden being one of those. So I thought we did a great job jumping out on top early and being able to sustain those runs. That's what we've been talking about all year. That was one of the things that we were trying to get better at all year long, so it was nice to see that happen. Yeah, yeah, obviously, once you get a big lead, you don't want to let go of it, and you were able to hold that. And you got to that turn 12 a couple of times, but never really felt like the game was really in question. Right, I agree. Yeah, and then so you travel up to Washington, Jefferson, second time in three years you've gone up there, and we're able to play Springfield team that you've, you know, the program's never played. Right. And for three quarters, you know, hung right with them, and obviously they're a very good program. Their coach has been there, you know, she's won, you know, several hundred games, and you know, very, very good, strong program. You're hanging with them for three quarters, but they just kind of pulled away in the fourth. Yeah, you know, again, another fun opportunity to play such a good team with such good history. So, you know, really proud of, you know, the way that we played. I thought that if the game could have stayed in a transition type game, that would be our game, and if they could slow us down, that was gonna be their game. So I thought in the fourth quarter, they really did slow us down, and that was able to make it go their way there at the end. You know, transition-wise, when we could get out and transition, I thought that that was definitely the way that we wanted the game to be played. Yeah, unfortunately. Yeah, obviously like you said all year, like your defense has kind of created your offense, and they were able to slow that down a little bit. Yeah, I mean, their zone was really good, and you know, and they had a great presence inside, which I think was really good for our freshmen to have to deal with, but, you know, the big kids inside gave us some problems as well, but, you know, just a great weekend. Yeah, so overall, obviously, you know, that brings the season to a close. So overall, obviously, you had a very young team this year, and, you know, you were able to get back to post-season, and, you know, win a post-season game. So just thoughts on the season and thoughts going forward for the future of this program. Well, I'm still really proud of this team. I told them at the end of the game on Friday that, you know, the things that they were able to accomplish this year, I'm not sure how many people really thought we could do that after graduating such huge offense and defensive effort from Sarat Albert the year before. So in order to come out with 17 wins and such a tough conference and such a tough schedule that we put together, I thought says volumes about the group that we had this year, especially being led by our two seniors, Amani and Christine, and then I think it does bode very well for our future with how many young kids that we had. Yeah, obviously, the schedule you played, you know, five teams at the end stage, obviously Messiah is still playing. So obviously a very good schedule that you played and, you know, in a very tough conference. Yeah, definitely. And, you know, we don't want it any other way. That's why we wanted our freshman to know how tough it was going to be for all four years. So I think they definitely got a feel for that. But, you know, I thought they did just a great job. My staff, again, this year, just such great support and, you know, just the support from our overall Stevenson community has been great. Yeah, absolutely. You know, like it's like, I think the future is bright, you know, for your program. Yeah, I miss it already, though. I'm sure. All right, well, coach, we thank you for your time all season and, you know, we look forward to next year. Great, thank you. All right, for Jackie Boswell, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Jackie Boswell Show.
