 Bates falls to Saint Lawrence here at the Mustang Classic Glen Clark with Bobcat's coach Dan and you know coach I know you'd rather be talking about a win Can you take something from the fight that your guys gave this top 10 team for two and a half quarters here today? Yeah, I think you you hit the nail on the head, you know, I think we proved a lot to ourselves You know we can play With the team that's everything that a top 10 team is I think Saint Lawrence is one of the best teams We've seen on film so far this year and I think we proved that we can play with a group like that We just got to find some consistency, especially down the stretch and learn how to win those games Dan would stood out today. Obviously was the player your goalie I know it's tough when you face a lot of shots in a season Sometimes guys can be rattled by that and it can be daunting for them How has he stood through all of that and continue to play at a high level for you? Yeah I mean Garrett, you know couldn't say enough about him as Certainly a really good goaltender, but he's a leader for us. He's a captain for us You know, and I think his leadership shines through as much as anything You know, he's a kid who loves lacrosse and as goalies tend to do He's a guy who kind of relishes seeing a lot of rubber at times And you know, we got to do a better job of helping him out But you know, I think all that his character brings Showed through today and and his leadership is as valuable as anything. What's your message to your guys I know it's got to be, you know, dejecting to be at this point this season and still not have picked up a win yet But you know to take the good in order to be able to build off of that as you move towards conference play Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think one we got to certainly recognize the challenge that we faced, you know, five games and Four top 12 opponents, you know, we certainly didn't make lives easy on ourselves and scheduling But we want to be challenged and we want to we want to play against the best So I think we learned a whole lot about ourselves. I think we've gotten better in every game And and like I said earlier, we just got to find ways to get consistency on all sides of the ball for 60 minutes For you this first time here as a head coach at the Mustang classic Just, you know, what this means to not just, you know, Division 3 lacrosse but lacrosse in general to have been here this weekend Yeah, I mean, it's it's such a great event You know, it truly is a showcase of you know, the premier lacrosse in the Division 3 world And you know, I think it gives guys an opportunity to play on a big stage And you know, I think you see what the lacrosse has been played here so far this weekend Like it's it's a level of lacrosse that deserves to be on a big stage and we're just we feel really lucky I feel really fortunate to be able to to be a part of this It is such a special event for for the lacrosse world coach I'm sure there will be wins here in future years for you.
