 Lynchburg head coach Steve Kudelka joins us here in the post game. His team falls to St. Lawrence 14-5. The final, I know you can't be pleased with the result, obviously, but silver linings, positives to come out of the game. You know, first off, hats off to St. Lawrence. You know, I thought they were awesome on film, watching them. I've watched them a lot last year. Super impressed with Coach Mahoney and what they did. I mean, those three attackmen they have are some older guys. I think it's awesome for our freshman attackmen that were playing just to learn from them. I mean, they were unselfish. They were always moving. I think we will definitely become a better team from playing St. Lawrence because we're probably going to learn a lot and watch and maybe even steal some things. They're very impressive and hats off to them. So you're throwing a lot at your team early in the season here. I mean, you took a trip up to Tufts and played them in the snow. This is a team from the South, by the way. Although it's been an unseasonable patch in that state, and now here to the Classic and you've got another game tomorrow. So how do you talk to your team? What do you say to them through this stretch? Well, I think we got to continue to learn. I mean, I think that is a journey to this. And I think we, I don't know if we put our best foot forward today, I think we could play better. I know we can play better. I mean, we got some guys injured that just happened over the last couple of days from whatever. But we just got to play a little bit better than we did today to beat. These are NCAA type quality games, and so I think we've played some really tough teams. I think at least at the very end of it, when we get out of this here this weekend, is just kind of understand a little bit about just where we are. I mean, I think that's the beauty of this. We have, well, we'll be eight games in. We got nine more after this, and with eight of them being ODAC games, and one against CNU. So we'll have a really good feel for where we need to get better at, what we need to do, and that's the beauty of coming to this thing. We'll prepare you for that next stretch in your season. It was a 5-3 game with a couple of minutes left in the first half, and it was 4-3 in the right, and then they scored correct, and he knows exactly what it was. Then it was 5-3, OK? And then it was two goals by St. Lawrence in the last minute of play in the first half to make it a 7-3 game at the break. Did you think that that was a key moment in that game? Sure, I mean, I think the 4-3 one was crucial, because we made an ill-advised pass, and we gave the ball right back, and we had all the momentum, we had scored some of these goals. We made a couple adjustments at the end of the first quarter, and our guys had some great possessions in that second quarter early on, and some of them resulted in goals, some of them were just long possessions, and we talk about that. We want that to happen. And then we picked up a ground ball in the middle, it was an over-and-back call, and next thing you know, we turn it over within three seconds. And so a very uncharacteristic play that we made there, and to their credit, they scored on the next possession. You know, that's the beauty of these games, right? These games are won and lost in micro moments, and that made a 5-3-8, and then you're right, then they got too quick when they scored on that really crazy ground ball in the middle of the field, they fought for it, we fought for it, they picked it up, bang. Next thing the kid goes around the front of the goal, dives, makes a great effort, we get the high hit, they call it the dead ball foul, which we would disagree with, but next thing you know, they're a man up and then they score. And so older teams are gonna be great in those moments, and I think they showed their experience at multiple times in that game that just really trumped us. And listen, our guys played hard, they battled, I don't take anything away from our players, I love my guys, I'm not gonna trade them for anybody. I think they fought their tails off. We just weren't as good as we need to be to win a game like this, and that's something that we need to figure out the why and understand that, and then get better from there, and we will, our guys are a resilient group, they will come back kicking and scratching and ready to roll, and that's what our guys do. Well, it doesn't get any easier, I think you have Amherst tomorrow if I'm not mistaken. Franklin and Marshall. I'm sorry, Franklin and Marshall. So that'll be your third game in five days. So what do you wanna do tonight? How do you guys recover from night overnight? Yeah, I mean, we've done this a bunch, so it's like, I mean, it's awesome, right? I mean, what else would you rather do? Would you rather have another week off before you play and have to go back to school and watch film and go to classes, and we get a game tomorrow against a really good team, Franklin and Marshall, who lost to a really good York team today, and so they'll be coming in here, going after it as well, and I'm excited to see how we handle as a team. This is a great test for us in the NCAA or the ODAC Championships, which will run the same way. You lose today, you're done. So we get this bonus of being able to play tomorrow, and so, listen, these guys play lacrosse all the time. It's what they love to do, and they might be a little tired tonight, but they'll wake up tomorrow. They'll have a bounce in their step. Our guys love to play. They'll be ready to go tomorrow, and I'm expecting our guys to play better tomorrow. I think they will. This is what they do, and they'll bounce back. So we're maybe a little bit still feeling the loss from Tuesday night, but, like I said, St. Lawrence is really good, and they were fun to watch. I give them a ton of credit, and we'll be better from playing them. It'll pay off down the road, maybe not tomorrow, but we'll see you down the road. It will definitely come back and help us at some point. He's Steve Godelka, the head coach of Lynchburg. They've got Franklin and Marshall tomorrow afternoon. We'll see you then. Thank you so much, appreciate it. Right here on Go Mustang Sports.tv.
