 Welcome into another Go Mustang Sports.com minute with women's ice hockey head coach Tracy Johnson following a 3-0 loss to the number 2 ranked Elmira Soaring Eagles. Coach, I have to imagine it's about as good as you're going to feel following a loss, but your girls really gutted out and played hard tonight. They played unbelievable. They stuck to the plan. They brought the energy for the whole 60 minutes that they needed to. Yeah, I mean, we may have lost on the scoreboard, but I'm extremely proud of how hard they played that team. And the goalie tandem tonight, just phenomenal. I know I like to ask about goalies, but tonight, I mean, they really did shine. They played great. They had their work cut out for them. And, you know, we told Anna, you know, if you're feeling like you need to come out and get a rest, like you let us know. And so, you know, we did very unusual that I've ever done before. Switched them out a couple of times, but they played great back there. They did everything that we could ask of them. I said this on the broadcast, a game like this in a weekend like this is really a gut check or should say a program check. You get to see where you're at and everything like that. You guys, there was only the fifth time in now 17 conference games that Amira has scored three goals or fewer. That's a pretty proud thing to hang on the mantle. Aside from the loss, that's a big reason to smile. It absolutely is. I mean, I know, like, I'm smiling even though we lost, but they just, they executed everything that we talked about and they believed in each other and they believed in themselves. And to see them compete like that against the number two team in the country, I'm pretty happy. Two more things. One is I thought, I mean, we talk often about your large group of freshmen. I thought tonight they had their best collective effort. Agree completely. They just, they brought it. They bought into the game plan. They bought into each other. And again, just so proud. Then the energy on the bench tonight was palpable, was noticeable. And I have to imagine as a player, when you hear that, when you have that long shift and you, you know, you're having trouble getting it out of the zone, you know, still playing defense, that's got to be hugely uplifting to have your teammates that into the game. Yes. And that was one of our game plans, was we needed to celebrate the little things. We needed to celebrate blocking a shot. We needed to celebrate getting a clear when we needed it. We needed to celebrate shoulder checking to feel the pressure, just those little things that make such a big difference. And, you know, we wanted to celebrate them like they were goals. And that's what they did. So it's contagious. All right, I lied. I have two more things. One is you guys only had one penalty tonight and I believe it now killed off 12 straight. That was the number one power play unit in the entire nation. And you didn't allow a goal on that. The one power play. Yeah, they really had to dig deep on that one because our PK unit was out there for quite a while in that zone. And but they stayed dialed in. And again, with the energy from the bench, I think definitely helped. And they grind it out, stuck it out. And even though it was just one, again, to kill off the top unit in the country, great job by our team. All right, coach, congrats on the good effort. Go get another solid one tomorrow and try and sneak into the conference tournament. Thank you so much for coach Johnson. I'm Paul Taylor. This has been a go Mustang sports.com minute.
