 Hello and welcome into the Tracy Johnson show. I'm Joe Wamba joined with Tracy Johnson, head coach of the women's ice hockey team and coach you guys face Lebanon Valley at for a future UCHC opponent and in a home and home series and take care of business in the first game, four to one at their place. Well, we knew going into that game we needed to get a lot of shots and that's something we certainly did. I think we finished with 86 and you know, good things happen when you get the puck to the net and you know, credit to their goal tender. She's a solid goal tender. We knew that going into it and we did what we could to pepper her with shots. You know, our power play was on and you know, found the back of the net. You took 86 shots in the first game, followed up with 84 in the second and also get the shutout for, well combined shutout for your goal tenders too. Talk a little bit about Chelsea Blackburn in the second game, having yet again another high trick. Well, she definitely likes putting the puck in the net which is you know, no complaints from us on that. You know, she's one point shy of tying the points record for the program and you know, she's been the goals leader for a while and that's her role in the team. You know, she's a goal scorer. She's a natural goal scorer and she likes putting the puck on net as well. So you know, a fun player to watch and you know, we're certainly glad we have her up on offense. It's good to have a goal scorer like Chelsea but at the same time you need to have a good goal stopper in Katie DeRosa facing a penalty shot. Talk about how big of a moment that was for momentum in getting more goals scored for you. Yeah, she you know, did a solid job back there. Didn't see a ton of shots but obviously that was an exciting moment for her back in the net. You know, luckily we practice shootouts every week and so we were just kind of, in my mind, you know, I was confident that she was going to keep it out of the net and you know, she kind of, I could tell by the way she looked approaching that penalty shot that she was going to stop it and so it was an exciting moment but I definitely knew out of the gate that it was hers. Another exciting moment. They also, Lebanon Valley had a breakaway chance and your backup goalie gets a huge stop in that. That's another momentum builder for you late in the game. Very exciting moment for sure. You know, she is very hard worker and so for her to get that opportunity to be in net, you know, number one is a great thing to see, good opportunity to get her back there but then in order, you know, for her to make that stop, she's got to be focused and dialed in and you know, it's not easy to go into a game when you've been cold and sitting on the bench and just really, really proud of that moment for her to make the stop on that. And let's talk a little bit about the special team units that you guys have in the first game. You guys don't take a penalty at all. It's the only the second time in program history, no work needed for the penalty killing unit. Yeah, we certainly have spent our fair share of time in the box certainly since I started here but it's been a point of emphasis for us, you know, every single year. We want to stay out of the box. We're a more effective team, five on five. You know, it's more fun to be playing five on five hockey or five on four, you know, in our favor but you know, our PK has been doing great things this year but it's always, you know, a good thing for us if we're staying out of the box completely. And you guys go back out on the road again this weekend. Let's talk a little bit about those games and those matchups that you'll see. We have some big games coming up, you know, Middlebury was sixth in the country going into break. So, you know, it's going to be a tough game for us but you know, I'm pretty confident if we have the right mindset and go in and we're ready to work that, you know, it's going to be a good game for us. And you know, we've played some fast paced teams and I think that we can handle it just fine and we just have to make sure that we're doing what we can to prepare this week for that. And then St. A's the next day, same story. They're a very strong team, very fast moving team but you know, I'm excited to see how we match up against them. Well coach, we wish you the best of luck and safe travels up north for these two games that you got going. Thanks so much. She's Tracy Johnson, I'm Joe Wamba and this has been the Tracy Johnson Show.
