 Now joined by the coach the Mustangs coach Kathy Rayleigh coach I know that you probably wanted to pull away with a victory, but The effort from your team today to battle the number four team in the country to have the opportunity to be tied up with five minutes to play This young team nineteen freshmen the way that they've come together these last couple weeks I imagine it's it's giving you an awful lot of pride despite the result Sure, you know this was a victory in so many ways although it wasn't a victory on the scoreboard I think it's it's such a psychological victory and emotional victory for our team this group works really hard and we've asked a lot of first-year players to come out there and Just play hard play through mistakes. We've asked a lot of our players to just step up in roles You know across the field and really deliver the best play they can and show the best confidence Because you're only as strong as your leadership and right now We have some wonderful leaders out there on the field and those leaders are just confident and caring and as a freshman looks to their teammate Who's who's a team captain or a leader on the field and they they show that things are going to be okay? And we're doing great or you're doing great, you know that just takes us such a long way so Although I'm disappointed because I think we could have gotten this one You know I just told the girls in the locker room we really forced that goalie to save their to save their to save their win and You know being in if they're number the number four team in the country They played big when they had to we're learning to do that and you know, we had the cause turnover at the end We had some shots at the end We did everything we needed to do to give them the best run I think a couple of calls and free position tries where it looked like somebody jumped early and they didn't Yeah, you know, I'll be the one to say I won't get you in any trouble Yeah, I won't get you in any trouble the officials and I were going out after because we've had so many conversations on the field today We're thinking about you know going for a beer and a little bit because Wow, it was a little wow at some times today And I thought that there were some interpretations that were I did not agree with so I'll have those conversations as I do because you know I love the game of lacrosse and I and I'm passionate about the rules and and I and I like to make sure that the officials Know the way I think I appreciate that I appreciate it and I didn't have emcee here to scream about it So I had to be a little more politically correct. All right Let's talk you brought up two defensive players chat with us not a surprise the defensive ever This was a team that was scoring basically 20 goals per game of late and yet you allowed one in the first half eight for the game What else can you say about the defensive effort from this team? You know, I knew it yesterday I knew we were gonna be in great shape yesterday We had a very cerebral practice yesterday where we worked hard for 10 or 15 15 seconds at a time at a group and They were they were listening to what I was saying They were going out there and executing and it could not have shown more out there today Then the on the defensive end that we had a game plan and we stuck with the game plan And you know that that's all we can hope as coaches that they understand what we're saying that they are that they buy In to what we're saying and then they go out there and they do the best that they can to execute I thought we executed like a top five team on the defensive end today I thought today that we came really close to that very same thing on the offensive side We're closing in on it and what the greatest thing Glenn is we're closing in on it so fast that we just We can't wait to get into conference and show what we can do It's only about a week away Coach I would I know it sounds weird to say congratulations as we're gonna let you go We're gonna talk to Mack. We're gonna talk to Gabby, but congratulations on the effort Congratulations on where your team is gone and we didn't get a chance to say congratulations on win number 200 So congratulations. Thank you. I think it just means a mold. That's awesome. Thank you. Thank you very much Thank you coach appreciate it
