 Hello and welcome to the Paul Cantamini show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce showing here with Stevenson head men's lacrosse coach Paul Cantamini. Coach, how you opened your season with a hard fought game against Denison yesterday. You're kind of back and forth, very entertaining game, and ultimately, you know, they scored with a few seconds left and 111 to 10, kind of take us to the game. Yeah, I mean, I thought it was a really hard fought game. I thought both teams played very tough. I thought we played very tough and, you know, it just came down and they made one more shot than us really. I thought we did a lot of really good things defensively. I thought we played really well. We probably forced them into doing some things, but I think we just got to get... The biggest thing for us is that our younger kids played well. We got better and we had a shot to win the game when it mattered and, you know, we just kind of were a ground ball or two away from the end. You know, we played a lot of young kids out there in that game and I think they grew up a lot and stuff. But, you know, hats off to them. They played well, but I'll think we'll get better and be ready for Gettysburg this weekend. Yeah, absolutely. A couple of young kids I thought played well. Obviously, Jacob Tanner had four goals and Graham McKee, a kid who didn't play a lot last year, you know, had a goal in three assists. Two kids that came in, stepped right up and played a big role yesterday. Yeah, you know, Jacob's had a great fall and in a great spring he's done a really, really good job and we expect him to do that. He'll get more and more playing time. He makes the most of his touches, I think, and he shoots the ball really, really well. And, you know, and Gray's coming along. You know, he just does his role. You know, he makes the plays he should, I think, and I think he only made, like, really one mistake all game and played really well. But we have a few other guys in there. Gray, you know, Gray King started an attack and he didn't do much, but he got his feet wet and understand what he needed to do. Jacob Deuster at the pole did a good job and played really well. And we're going to get some other freshmen involved this week as well as they move forward here and some younger guys. But, you know, it's good to see some young guys step up and we need them to do that. But that's, you know, each year we got different guys to step up and do different things. Yeah, yeah, obviously important. Obviously their first taste, obviously you scrimmage everything with their first taste of real college across this week. Yeah, no doubt. Yeah. So kind of shifting gears, looking ahead to this weekend. You play Gettysburg, a team very similar to Denison, likes to kind of control the pace, control the tempo a little bit. And they're coming off a big win, kind of talk about them. Yeah, I think we're kind of playing the same team three weeks in a row. You know, I think Denison and Gettysburg and Salisbury are all really very similar teams and how they attack and what they do. And, you know, we're going to have to be ready for that. They've got a really good attack and it's been done really well for them. They've got a couple of young guys they play as well. And so they're going to do that but they've got to really, probably one of the best goalies in the country and we're going to have to get ready for him. They play great team defense. They've got a pretty good face off, guys. So, you know, we'll be ready to go and compete again. And, you know, we really respect them and what they've done. Coach Jens will always have them ready. And, you know, we'll have them here under the lights on Saturday and we'll get ready to strap it up again. Yeah. All right, coach, it should be a fun one this Saturday night. Hope to see everyone at Mustang Stadium. It's going to be a good night. All right. For Paul Canterbury, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Paul Canterbury Show.
