 Welcome into the Graham Miller show. I'm Sam Murray joined with head men's soccer coach Graham Miller and coach before we get to soccer Congratulations to you and your wife on your beautiful baby girl. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, we had faith my wife I delivered faith last week and and during preseason, which was a you know interest the first preseason has ever been like that But yeah, it was very exciting and you know, I just you know I want to give a shout out to my amazing wife Amanda for everything she does for for the baby And she's obviously home taking care of faith while I'm you know coaching games and running practices. So She's doing a great job shout out to her too for delivering right before the season starts Yeah, I know it was good that was three weeks early, you know, so yeah, I didn't want to mess up in a game So it was good that you know, we did it during preseason So talk about some soccer a little bit of a roller coaster weekend for you you get the the two one come from behind wind over Washington to start the season and then kind of Let one slip three two and over double overtime versus Hampton, Sydney Well, the big thing was just to get that first win in the board So, you know, these guys have had some tough years in the past and you know We've talked about it in a you know preview and Washington was gonna be a tough game to start with I mean, they made this intennial playoffs last year So they were in the top five in a very tough conference and you know So we we thought we did really well in that game after we kind of woke up a little bit you know the first half we were Showed them too much respect and then the guys just came at them second half And I think we earned that win and we outworked them second half and you know great performance by the boys I thought you know everybody did a you know great job and then a little bit of a let down against Hampton, Sydney I think it was just you know individual mistakes the cost is I mean, I think we were the better team You know, we can tell that by the shot count and all the other stats and watching video I think we were definitely the better team in that game on Sunday and I just you know If we just you know focused a little bit better and you know Not had the mistakes we had we could easily have won that game to nothing and and you know being 2-0 right now Lot of youth on the team and a lot of new players Christian batita gets that you know kind of magical goal there and Jay Smith Jordan fields talk about the youth on the team. Yeah, if you look at it I mean that first game against Washington. We only had you know three seniors and I think you know the rest were Soft moors and freshmen. So yeah, there's a very good freshman class come in The sophomores are buying in as well right away and the seniors have been great We've got the leadership from you know, Eric Dorsey and Andrew. Catalana. I mean CJ that's you know, I joked with him after the tailgate It was like you're probably never gonna score a goal like that in your life again, but you know, he hit that so sweet I hope he does and we were kind of giving him you know Giving them some heat for you know running over to the fans and milk and instead of running over to his teammates But that's alright, but you know those guys are really doing well You know, you know Jordan field scores on You know, you know the goal Jay's obviously got off on the board as well CJ and you know, it was a nice penalty by Elias as well I want to you know play this had some injury issues, but he you know stepped up to you know Cooling cams. So yeah, the youth on the team and you know our you know our back line You know, we've got two center backs Dylan Hawley and Jeff and Lee who are you know, who are freshmen as well So it's a very young team and and I think that's maybe what kind of happened on a Sunday in that game against Hampton Sydney we made some you know young team mistakes But I think we can we can learn from that and grow from that and I think these guys are you know Definitely key for the future Looking ahead you're on the road for two games you open at Gettysburg and then on Saturday go to York So just talk about those two matchups. Yeah, another you know two tough games You know this schedule when I look to the schedule ahead of time and you know the schedule that inherited From the former coach it definitely there's nothing easy about it You know it's and that's okay because that's the way I always did it with a women's team You know if you're gonna you know if you're gonna be in a conference with Messiah and like homing and you know Teams that are nationally ranked you got to play a tough non-conference schedule to prepare for those teams So these two teams this weekend, you know, they're both two and no Gettysburg Had two good wins over St. Mary's in Salisbury So we're gonna work hard for that game and then obviously we turn around and you know We don't get any rest and then we're playing York who's two and oh who had two big wins over carol and and then a Five-two win over Catholic so both these teams this weekend and both at their locations You know we're on the road for the first time this season It's gonna be you know another test for the guys, but you know, we're ready for it We're we're not scared of anybody and you know, I hope the guys are confident and and you know Don't give them too much respect and we just play our game Well coach we wish you the best of luck in those two two games and come back with two victories Thank you very much Sam.
