 Welcome back to the Mustang Classic. Steve Kadelka from Lynchburg joins us. And just like last year, we talked about this tournament. First, the value of getting two games, two days, to be able to do it in one place, and especially as you all really get ready to start knocking heads in the Yodak coming up next weekend. What does a weekend like this do to help you and your staff prepare your team for the grind that comes up ahead? Yeah, I mean, I think it's, we just talked about in the locker room with the guys, it's almost like getting midterms. You know, we're about halfway through the year and we should be able to sit back after the first seven games and sit there and say, okay, here's what our grades are. And playing the teams we play, we have no false understanding of where we are. I think we're gonna have a pretty good understanding and I think that's the best thing for us moving forward and that's why we come to this event to play in that and give us that experience. I was gonna say, some teams would duck an event like this because it's good competition, but by playing two great teams here that you normally do when you come to this event, what kind of value does an event like this have, especially in the Division III community with budget issues for a lot of schools where you can come together and get two good teams on your resume? Well, I mean, I think it's important for us to play, I mean, playing in this event is awesome for our program, obviously, for our school, for our alumni, for all the, you know, everything. And so, you know, we're excited to be part of this. There's no doubt about it. And I think now, you know, we sit there and we're just sitting there a while, you gotta play Stevenson on Friday and then come back and play Amherst, you know, and not easy to do. But at the same time, like I said earlier, we found out a lot about ourselves that we did not know maybe on Thursday that now we know Saturday night. And I think our coaching staff will hopefully do a good enough job to kind of talk to that with our guys. And our kids, I think, you know, at times we played very good across this weekend. And so, you know, the effort for the most part was there the entire weekend. And now we just gotta, you know, we gotta clean things up if we wanna go or we wanna go this year. Obviously, you have this similar type of format coming up next week. And we're swanning that on the road at Washington and Lee the next day. What does the back-to-back preparation type where you play one day and then play another as you get ready to do that again next week? How much does that help? You know, I mean, I hope it helps. You know, we'll find out, I'll tell you in about a week. But I think for us, you know, it's where our ODAC tournament is set up as well. So, you know, we wanna, if we're fortunate enough to be in that situation, we don't want that to be the first time we're doing this, you know, because playing back-to-back, and I mean, I love the fact our kids are right now in the locker room. They're fit. We, you know, we came out of here unscathed. We have zero injuries, you know, and I think at the end of the day, like I think we could have probably played another game, you know, and that's good. And so, we're good in that entity. Now we just gotta clear up some of the technical X's and O's stuff and also, you know, maybe some of our mental capacity as well. So that's on the way CJ played and really kept you in the game because when you see 53 shots, your goalie's gotta make some big stops for you. Yeah, you know, I mean, I think some of them, you know, we're deflected and stuff like that, but yeah, he, you know, he played great. I mean, he was put a little under the fire. I think they took like 10 shots in the first like five minutes. And, you know, and after that, I think, you know, after that, the game settled down and we played pretty much an even game, you know, but in this environment and against a team like Amherst, you can't give them a three-nothing lead three minutes into a game and then just be, you know, having to come from behind the entire time. Like I said, our guys, we got fighters, man. We got some competitive kids. There was never a doubt in my mind being down three-nothing that we weren't gonna chip back, but it was unfortunate that here we are down three-nothing and now you gotta work so much harder, you know, to get to the tie, maybe, and we took the lead one time, just like we did last night. So, you know, can we get up three-nothing on somebody else and then extend that lead, you know? And so kind of we've done the past, but this is a different team and we're learning and we got a lot of younger guys playing and it will be better for it, no doubt about it. I would say, no doubt you all have been battle-tested. Salisbury, Stevens, and Amherst, best of luck as you all start the conference play coming up next week. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. All right, Steve Kadelka, joining us here as Lynchburg falls to Amherst by a score of 10-8 at the Mustang Classic.
