 Franklin and Marshall falls 17-9 to Amherst here on day one of the Mustang Classic. Glenn Clark with coach Todd Cavallero. Coach you guys bounce back after falling behind 2-0 and ran off three straight goals. In that second quarter what went wrong that really allowed them to pull away? Well I think Amherst is a team and we talked about all week they got so much firepower between the lines they put a lot of pressure on you clearing the ball and all the little things that we talked about certainly not giving them transition not having failed clears opportunities not winning face-off so it was a combination of those three things with a high potent offense and seemed like every time we made a mistake and failed to clear the ball they jammed it right down our throat and certainly in the second quarter I just never felt offensively that we were able to get into any groove you know it seemed like they'd have the ball for three four five minutes at a time because our failed clears lost lost face-offs or just not great turnovers at our offensive end we never really gotten to a rhythm and and they capitalized on it and they're a great team and we talked about it over and over again the more mistakes you make especially in that second quarter we gave them plenty of opportunities and credit to them and in the coaching staff that they they took advantage of every one of those opportunities. As far as positives are concerned you made a change at the face-off X in the second half and it ended up changing the numbers and you guys actually won the face-off battle in half number two can you tell me a little bit about Luke Sleevers and maybe what might happen moving forward. Well we knew it was going to be by committee we think the world of their face-off guys and you know we have guys that compete every day and and depending on the day the other one's better every day it's not the same consistent face-off guy so we're okay going by committee the first two guys had a shot early on and and weren't getting it done and Daniels Lever came in and did a fantastic job if there was one highlight I thought he came in and kind of changed a little bit of the momentum tried to allow us to fight back into the game a little bit but again they took it to us early and often and we're just trying to fight our way out at that point. The good news about this event if you can come away with a win tomorrow you're probably gonna feel pretty good about the weekend. Absolutely you know you could go 0-2 you can go 2-0 you go 1-1 in this event and this is our first year so I think we're still figuring it out a little bit you know we ran into a buzz saw on that second quarter and couldn't climb our way out of it you know you don't have time to dwell on it I'm dwelling on it for the next 24 hours our team will as well a little bit but the good thing is you get to move on and hopefully get a good taste in your mouth and learn from the first game and get better in the second game and that's what we're hoping to do against Denison tomorrow at 1-45. Coach we appreciate you coming up here after a tough one and appreciate having you guys here at the Mustang Classic. Thanks so much and I want to give a shout out to you guys I think it's a great event coach canabine does a fantastic job and all of you do a fantastic job as well so much appreciated.
