 Stevenson falls in their season opener today 15-5 to Salisbury with the head coach the Mustangs coach Kathy Rayleigh coach You know, let's go through the good and the bad right and let's start with the good Into the second half tie game against the number one team in the country defending national champions Obviously from there did not go your way How do you reflect on build off of the good and and how do you reflect on all of the bad? Well, I think that We're very focused on on everything that happens in a game that may not have a positive Spin to it. We're gonna really use those negatives or use those issues or challenges To make ourselves better. We're really trying to focus in on Getting better with every minute today that didn't happen. We came out very energized. We came out very confident We went into the magic locker room and it evidently sucked every ounce of energy out of us To the point where we just couldn't keep it together anymore You know, there were some really great things about today and there were some things that we can see we we can work on now And so it's we got to look at it as a helpful situation. So I just think that there was a change in tempo I think that that We didn't get some calls when you know We're getting checked in the face and checked in the body and we didn't get some calls And I think that there was some frustration with that that just kind of sapped the energy. So We'll go from there glad I mean we got a lot to work with Salisbury when you're not doing everything right They're gonna make you look terrible. So You know, I was glad to have that challenge in the second half We'll be ready next week to rise to that kind of challenge. Let's again Let's do good and bad right the good Caroline scores four goals picks up where she left off She's Caroline Murphy. We know what she can do the bad There was one other goal, right and and and not really a ton of great looks in there What needs to happen offensively for more players to get involved and to get some better look well We have to execute our concepts and we did not today and even in the first half We were very clumpy. We were not working off ball. Well, and we were not following the game plan of what the play was You know when Carol had her looks it was Carol with an exceptional play or an exceptional move Or an exceptional shot. I think we ran the play well twice where we were able to hit a feeder situation Where somebody's open which is in the design as far as what the play design was We did not execute it 90% of the time today And I can't really figure that out because we have pretty much all experienced players on the attack So I don't know where the breakdown was. We talked about it at a halftime. We talked about it at the quarters It just we talked about it at the time out and there was just very little work off ball in a way that made sense So we're not going to go back to the drawing board We're going to try to really fine-tune What the concept is and how we're going to execute at a we need to execute at a much higher level Had we executed I do believe that the game score would be extremely different Had we executed when we had it you did get to see a couple of your newcomers today They did get to see you know Zimmer and Van Ember couple of players What did you see from those players and how excited are you about what they can do is we get further along right? So so the biggest issue for the new players is they just have to get seasoned They have to understand they're gonna make mistakes and it's not the end of the world Today is a great example of a game where every single player we had made some mistakes And to not crumble when that happens is a really great lesson for our freshmen You know Kellyanne played great Zim hustled every single time that she went in we were able to go a little deeper with Katie and Maddie You know, I think that we did a really good job of getting kind of their feet wet with that And but they're gonna have to if we're gonna have a go They're gonna have to mature really quickly know what the plays are know how to execute the plays And I did think they handled pressure pretty well as far as hands-on and you know that kind of thing. So that's good You build off what you can build off of right? That's the way it works. Coach. We have a lot Hey, we have choices time to do it is the important part. It's good to see it. It's good that you know It's the cross season. We like those things and we'll look forward to seeing you back here in two weeks coach Thanks taking the time. Thank you. She's Kathy Rayleigh. I'm Glenn Clark. Go Mustang sports calm
