 Back at Top Mustang Stadium Glen Clark MC McFadden on the all-access post game show here in the Mustang sports network powered by SFM sports net Stevenson falls today to number six Gettysburg 16 to 6 We're now joined by the head coach of the Mustangs coach Kathy Rayleigh coach This is what I always like to play good cop bad cop and I get to be good cop so MC can be bad cop So I'm gonna start with the good okay, I'm gonna start with the good I think in particular in goal Mac Ferguson was tremendous I know we're gonna talk to a sorority here in a second. She may play after play today Your young players in a big spot against a very good team There was a lot to like from that group. There certainly wasn't and I'm hoping that they're building confidence as the games go on What we had really anticipated is we had anticipated six games for the freshman to start to feel it and I think we're three games in and I think we have half of Our freshman group that is feeling it Mac was playing like a senior out there today Sarah was playing like a senior out there today We've got a few more to bring along that are definitely playing better than freshman But I think that they're going to elevate by game six I think we're gonna be really difficult to contend with because if we can get them to pressure Then that'll release some of the pressure from our two or three senior goal scorers And we don't have entire defenses zeroed in on just them. It'll relieve the pressure Defensively, you know when you start five freshman It gives you a lot of gray hair and But I couldn't be more excited about the future. So when we're looking at good cop bad cop Yep, good cop is I can rest well tonight and knowing that three years from now We got a real shot at a national championship. I'll go be bad cop emcee I'm gonna ask you about your veteran players because we could sense the frustration of Olivia Montero and Brady here from the And but they are your big goalscores. They're gonna be keyed in on it. So how are they doing today? Well, you know, I think that It's not that they do anything wrong They want to do the right things and what we really tried to do this year was Unleash the attack to go when they wanted to go That being said you can't play defense for two minutes at a time have difficulty clearing it out Finally get it out and have the attack shoot in the first five seconds and they know this So they're kind of caught between But she was open and I want to feed it because we're playing this freestyle attack Versus wait a minute my middies just about here and my defense needs a break So I think they were caught between things today. I don't think that will happen again All right emcee is forced me to play bad cop. Okay the clearing in the first half Lord have mercy. Yeah Now it improved as the game went on And I don't know how many of those are crimes of aggression and how much you can can live with that But just what needs to change because obviously 6-12 and some of the passes that were made in the first half It's just not gonna work against anybody, you know We we cleared so well against Salisbury and I think we forgot what we did there and you know Gettysburg got to scout that clear and yes They put some things in place that would throw a wrench into it But it wasn't a big wrench and we needed to see around that We stopped driving around people and we started going through double teams You can't and that was experienced players doing that We started running towards the sideline where you cannot run towards the sideline because that's where they want to trap you We were throwing Hail Mary's and not calling a name of the person that we were passing to just hoping somebody would be around We saw a flicker of a white shirt and we were releasing it. I think that was nerves You know, we played we played one tough game and then we played one a little bit easier game And I think that they were just I Don't know. I don't know why they felt so rushed and why we couldn't Possess the ball but we'd made some changes and I think that that worked out better and the attacks got a help I mean there were times that that you know, Jamie Bittner and Hannah Tankersley We're trying to run it up themselves and all attackers are inside the attacking 30 except for maybe one And that's that's kind of shameful. They know it's shameful. It's got to change The other thing was draw controls where early on it you're getting a little dominated But that number that that the tide turned and it seemed like I think it was 13 to 10 and that being the final number But this was very lopsided to start the game And I thought the one thing that MC and I talked about was it really seemed like the players around the circle Stepped up as the game went along and came in to help out Olivia Something that we didn't see on film But we I recognized right straight away was that number one likes to get get the ball and curl to the right side So we flip flop Jamie and put her on that curl down towards the goal And that kind of messed her up as to what she even if she got it She didn't know what to do with it because she only knows to curl that direction So that helped with that because even you know, she was first to the ball a lot But you could see the bobble because she wanted to get around Jamie to the right side So that we weren't giving them that and I'll tell you what was a huge improvement today I thought was coming off of the defensive line was huge Even the offensive line was huge. We talked about that there was one of our goals Is we had to get those guys more engaged in that so since it bobbled around a lot The ones that bobbled around I thought we had our good fair share of and that's good at fighting 50-50s That's something a coach can be proud of and the players should be proud of which can also be proud of Rescheduling the game to beat the rain as it starts coming in When the buzzer went off I felt a raindrop Well done, well I would have taken rain and a win Over that loss Coach I know it was a tough one, but we always appreciate the conversation. We'll see you again here next Saturday Thank you. Thank you. She is coach Kathy Rayleigh joining us here in the all-access post game show
