 St. Lawrence defeats Bates 16-7 here at the Mustang Classic, Glenn Clark with Saints head coach Mike Mahoney, coach a heck of a battle for those first two and a half quarters. What changed there in the second half for your team to be able to pull away? Yeah I mean first of all credit to Bates and you know as we've watched them on film and saw them yesterday I think they've just gotten better each and every time they've played and you know I think coach and Eno's doing an awesome job and so we expected a dogfight and that's exactly what we got. I think you know their goalie made some really key saves at times and I think so we finished some opportunities but like anything I mean it's you know it's a bounce here it's just a good a good offensive possession and we got a little momentum and we were able to able to roll with that. In a way do you feel like maybe it's good for your team to be tested like that and have to respond to it as you know they're even bigger tests coming up in league play? No doubt no doubt I mean that's why we came down here to play two great games to you know have the back-to-back I mean you never know how a team's gonna respond to that and I was just I was pleased with with our effort there wasn't anything about us looking past you know Bates they they brought it and we had to step up and I was proud of how our guys responded. What stood out to me in watching your team your balance that it's sort of coming from everywhere and everywhere you're not relying on anyone in particular how good how much of a luxury is that for you to have at this point in the season. Yeah it's you know it's how we go about things offensively you know Tom Ryan our offensive coordinator that's what he preaches as far as ball movement and and and that balance and you know I thought Bates had a couple of things in their game plan that may be you know impacted how our attackman play and we had some midfielders that stepped up and it was just it's nice to see we're not gonna rely on one guy and you know I think teams that that do well over the course of the season have to have that approach and and we'll be consistent with that. I suffice to say you've enjoyed your first trip here to the Mustang Classic. Yeah I mean to get out with a couple of wins is that's icing on the cake you know the experience and to be down here you know coach Canada Bennett does an awesome job with this whole as everyone does here with this whole production and it really is a special tournament for the first time we're here and proud to be a part of it and and really cherish the opportunity and and certainly happy to leave here with a couple of W's. Coach congratulations on a great weekend down here it was great to have you best of luck moving forward this season. Thank you very much appreciate it. He's Mike Mahoney I'm Glenn Clark this is the Mustang Classic.
