 And back in the post-game here with head coach, Kathy Rayleigh, after the 14-13 loss in overtime. I know that's a tough loss to take, but what a great game it was. So just overall thought. My overall thought is I'm really proud of the improvement that our squad made in a week's time. You know, we always play pretty good defense. We don't like to play too much of it because it tires us out. But what I'm most proud of right now is I thought we fixed some things in the clear. There were still some iffy moments, but it's early in the season. We took 30 shots and our goal today was to take 30 shots. And you know, any game where you have 12 cause turnovers, where you are taking the ball from a very powerful offense with Washington College of all, you know, so many returning players and experienced players, and we're taking the ball time after time after time, you know, combined with a really great game by Reagan, Torbert, there's so much positive for me to kind of take in. And I hope the team to take in that we can move forward and become even better a week from now. We're gonna be a team to contend with. We just have to dot some eyes and cross some Ts. Well, and that's what the early season is for, especially the non-conference. We had a chance to talk during the week before the game. And one of the things that you wanted to work on, which I think we saw today was offensive chemistry. So not only the 30 shots, but the balanced scoring. Talk a little bit about that. You've gotta have power from everywhere. You can't have just one or two people that go to goal. And we had a lot of different shooters. We had a lot of different goal scores and multiple goals by a lot of different people. That is, that's enormous. And we had some freshmen breakthrough, you know, getting some goals and doing some really nice things. I'm really happy with how we moved the ball. I thought had our shots gone in that first quarter, like we wanted them to, where their goalie was playing so strong and we weren't necessarily following our game plan of where we wanted to shoot, but we were at least shooting. And then to have the team kind of run into that roadblock of what the goalie was doing, excuse me, and make those changes, I am just super proud of making them in real time. Realizing that, you know, you can't, you can't run towards that goalie and shoot it. You have to kind of sweep across the crease. And they just did it tremendously. So I thought we were really good at learning on the fly today. And, you know, when you play a game where you have a deficit, you're in a deficit and then you climb back and you're in a deficit and you climb back, that shows a lot of heart. And it shows a lot of resilience as well. We're gonna talk to Sophia Murray in just a minute who had a terrific game today on both ends of the field. Tell me about her and what she was able to contribute today. We can't wait for Sophia to realize that she should be scoring three or four goals a game. You know, to have someone that just is, has excelled on the defensive end of the field and turned her into that midi, that D midi combo, she's impossible to defend. She brings a component to the offense that we really want to not exploit, but take advantage of. And it takes pressure off of Kara. And that's, you know, Kara is able to get a few goals because they're not just all zeroed in on what she's doing. So, you know, having that balance, but Sophia just, I'm so happy that she looked like an attacker today. And as far as the defense is concerned, just kudos all the way around. But talk a little bit about your goalkeeper today, Reagan Torber who, I don't know if 16 saves us a career high or not, but she definitely had a career game today. She had a career game today and she has been putting in exceptional performances all the way through. She's getting, I thought today there was a significant increase in her stopping free positions, but I also think because we had such powerful defense around the girl that was taking the free position and allowed Reagan to zero in on when it was gonna be shot. You know, she's a great keeper. We need her to continue to work on her clearing abilities. And she puts the clear together with her save percentage and the kinds of saves she's making. There'll be no doubt that she's the best goalie in the conference, but we need to make sure that she adds that second component, which she's getting better with, yeah. Sounds good. So we're gonna switch out here, I believe, and bring Sophia in. I can't wait to talk to her. Kathy, always a pleasure. I'll see you in a couple of weeks. Okay, so Sophia Murray is coming in number 33. First chance I get to interview with her. Hi. Hi. Great game. How are you? I'm good, how are you? Just give me an overall thought about how you fit today and what coach was telling you and how it all came to be. Honestly, I think our team, the energy today was unmatched. I mean, with any mistake, anything that happened on the field, we all rallied around each other. Everyone had each other's backs and it was always, all right, move on to the next one. No one hung their heads and we really just, it was everyone working together, honestly. A lot of times it's been individuals kind of trying to do different things, but we worked so well together today and yeah, it's, yeah. Absolutely, and for you personally, I mean, here you are, you know, first time with the team basically. Just talk about how you've kind of ingrained yourself and what kind of a confidence builder today's performance is. Oh yeah, today was pretty awesome, but honestly, it's kudos to my teammates. I mean, I came in here as a straight defender, haven't played attack in probably four years and so just having, literally having them tell me where to go, helping me, telling me like what I need to fix in practice and everything else like that. Everyone's so helpful. They always have such good advice and so literally it's just starting to click because we all have such good chemistry and everyone is working to get the best advantage for the next person. So a question, before the season started, did you know that you were going to be an attacker or was that a, like, was that a surprise for you? It was kind of mentioned, but I think it was very much solidified once we got into practice and to fall on everything that they said, okay, all right, you know, figure out how to be a midi. But yeah, so fall ball is probably when it solidified that we were going to try to figure out how to do that. Kathy and I talked during the week so Baltimore never gets snow anymore, but we got that one week of snow, which couldn't have timed any worse because you guys were starting your practice. Maybe it was 10 days, I don't know, but from your perspective, A, what did you guys do when it snowed and did it actually, you know, affect your ability to prepare for the season? I mean, honestly, cold is always, it's a challenge and having practice out in, you know, I don't know, it was like 15 degree weather. It's our first outdoor practice we had. It was great. I mean, just being out there, all the girls were ready to be out there. And even when we couldn't be outside when we had those snow days and everything else like that, everyone was just very adaptable. It was, okay, are we gonna be stuck inside? All right, we're still gonna have a great practice. We're still gonna do everything we need to do. And everyone just kind of rolled with the punches. And you can see it, because even this is our third game and we've already started to have such good chemistry all together, but yeah, we're adaptable. Sounds good. So 33 had three goals today. She had a big cause turnover late. It was just a great game for you guys all around. I know a loss is a loss, but there were a lot of good things to come out of this one. Congratulations. I look forward to seeing you guys in a couple of weeks and best of luck to you. Thank you. That is Sophia Murray. I'm Gary Stein and this is Go Mustang Sports.tv.
