 Stevenson gets the 14-9 win over wide near today, Glenn Clark with head coach Kathy Rayleigh. Pretty average day all in all, right? A nice four hour afternoon here at Mustang Stadium. But a really important win, obviously, for your team. I know you've got to be happy about that. Well, it's important for two reasons. One, we needed to know we could bounce back after Wednesday. Wednesday was not our best performance, was not our best energy, was not our best confidence. And for a team to bounce back like that, that is just unbelievably key. I think I'm just, I wouldn't even care if we won by one or a half a point or a third of a point. The fact we were able to bounce back and win and come out ready to win that game was great. The other reason it's important because now there's a huge shakeup. And we don't want to be seated fifth. We would like to be seated higher than fifth so that we can, at the very least, get a home game for the play-in. So staying strong for the remainder of the year is going to be key. Obviously, you still control your own destiny to do even better than that after this. You spotted them one, and then that run, late in the first quarter, what clicked? This has been a team that defensively has been outstanding this season, was giving up less than eight goals per game. What clicked late in the first quarter that you guys were able to get separation? You know, I think that we are a pretty good move in the ball at times, in particular, when we're not super tired. As we got more and more tired as the game went on, I think the ideas were still really good. The execution isn't always what we need it to be when we get tired. You know, I think we moved the ball well. I think that we're unselfish. I think we drive when we're supposed to drive, and we drive and dish it to our teammate when we're supposed to. The key today, I think, and I think we took them by surprise in our fast break effort. Off the draw effort, fast break effort. We scored a number of goals in that run in that first, before the first lightning break, lightning delay. A number of goals in the fast break where we kept that ball moving and drew and dumped it to a teammate. That's really unselfish and just such a, being a great teammate and setting up your teammates for success. I loved that. Let's talk about three factors. First, the player you didn't bring up with you was Sophie, who had 11 saves today. Some of which, it felt like there were a couple of moments in the second half where they were threatening to make it a game again, and she was the one that came up. That play where she made the enclosed save and then raced out to get the backup, I thought was one of the best plays all day. Sophie is one of the best goalies in the conference. On days like today, that's what Sophie can be. We want Sophie to be that every time she steps foot on the field. So, I thought she had a very good performance and stepped up when we needed her, and it made some good fast break passes out there today. Sophie will be back up here when she strings a couple of games in a row of doing what her job is. She is a fifth year. She needs to play like a fifth year more than every other game. And I love that she knows I love her. So she knows this is me looking at her, going you got this, you're gonna be able to do this. And I can't wait to see the performance that she pulls up on Wednesday. Awesome, awesome. You brought up Hannah Ash, and I'm guessing that's a reflection of the defense on the whole tonight, because I know coming into the game, that was a big emphasis for you, and they really stepped up all throughout the course of the day. Hannah Ash is the backbone of the defense, and what people don't see, when you see all the shirts moving around and you're watching the ball move around, what you don't see is the number of times Hannah Ash takes care of her girl and takes care of the girl that is beating one of our younger players. So she is constantly, without being asked, stepping up and playing more than one player if we're laid on a defensive triangle we should be in. She's there to cover us so that we can recover, and it looks like man-to-man, but it's really not. All right, it's our best effort at man-to-man with Hannah Ash and Kara, they're both up here defensively as well. Hannah Ash and Kara, you watch just the two of them in a defensive possession. They will cover every single other defender's late slides or got turned wrong and didn't see your girl, back doors, strong cuts. It's amazing to watch. We can see it because we're always looking at that. We just love the fans to take a look at that on one of the possessions and it's exceptional. And now, obviously Kara does everything, of course, as you mentioned, but today went over a 100 career points with the first of her five goals. I don't know what else there, I'm not trying to belittle it. We just said so many great things about Kara. I don't know what else I can say at this point. Well, what you can say is that's a great milestone. Right soon after that is gonna be goals, but the reason she's up here today, that's exceptional, but the number of goals, the number of draws, the number of caused turnovers and ground balls, and she took a real step in the leadership direction today. So with those of you that don't know, we made Kara call the place today. And she was fine to do that and at one point she was so tired, she looked at me and I thought, she was like, I just can't do it. And I just said, you got to call it. And I walked away because what we're trying to do is teach them to read defenses and make the best choice. Yeah. That's a strong statement about what you mean. Yeah, well, it's time for them to do it. They know what's going on out there. All right. Big game Wednesday. Oh, yeah. They're all big now. I get it. But this one, obviously the history between the programs, I mean, this is gonna be a special night on Wednesday. It sure is. We're happy to be home. We hope we can put together 60 minutes of great play. You know how we played on 25 from Weidner today? Maybe we just got to hope we can do the same thing against Messiah's potent attack. Yep. All right, Coach, congratulations on a win. We'll see you on Wednesday. Thanks.
