 Hello, welcome to the Paul Cantamene show presented by Buffalo Wildlings I'm Greg Royce showing by Stevenson head men's lacrosse coach Paul Cantamene Coach, I wrapped up the regular season last week before it's up to finish eight no one conference again And just seems your guys are playing pretty well down the stretch here. Yeah, I think we're doing a good job overall I think all of our guys are doing Get picking up their games by a little bit 10 15% a freshman are really coming along knowing their roles And so I think it's going pretty well especially with the better play from our defense think Dom and Dylan Harris are playing exceptionally well And Mark Pouse's better goal play is really helping us. So I think we're getting better in all areas So we're happy where we are, but we still got the conference tournament coming up Yeah, and you said you mentioned those two guys Dom and Dylan like I said They both for the last half of the season really picked their game up and really been strong defensively Yeah, I think if you have all three even Joey, you know those guys We lost those guys all last year to do season ended injuries And they're not going to take a year off from playing and come back in January be the same players I think now playing for a couple months or getting back to how they were where they were the left off before the injuries And it's really starting to show especially in Dom and Dylan They're really starting to play well and moving a lot better and doing some really good things out there Yeah, another guy who was kind of sick in the middle of the season was Jacob Tatum And he's really come on strong last four or five. Yeah, Jacob He's done a great job You know all of our attack and played well especially Ethan and JT But Jacob's come along a long way in the last few games scoring about 16 or 17 goals in the last three or four games And doing a really good job moving Distributing moving the ball and so he's been really helping us on the offense events Especially taking the pressure off all those freshman midfielders. Yeah, absolutely Now switch gears. We have the conference term this week. You have Weiner coming up Wednesday night I'm always kind of a physical battle of them tough battle and yeah, it's like how you see that game though Well, you know, they're always a tough go We got in the better part the first game You know eight goals in the first quarter when we played in the last times we got out on them They had to kind of play catch up, you know, but you know, that's gonna be a little tougher this time around You know, they got a good face off guy The goal is playing much better, but we got to get on them and make all the little plays You know, we got to ride them really well, you know, we can't turn the ball over We got to shoot the ball well early and get on them And I think we can get out on them, but they're gonna be a tough matchup They always are when you play in the conference play Yeah, but we got in the better of them lately But you know, we got to play one of our better games on Wednesday in order to get by them Yeah, then obviously Wednesday if you get through Wednesday, obviously you place, you know, the conference championship Saturday And, you know, knowing that you need that a cue to, you know, make the NCAAs once again, you know That's what the situation last couple years, but obviously, you know, it's something your team's used to Yeah, we're used to this pressure we've been here before a lot of our guys have played in a lot of big games That's why we play all those big games in the course of the year So we can understand how to play in these games when it comes down to the mattering the most And I think we'll be all right, you know We'll probably be a little bit nervous early as we always are, but we'll get better as the game goes on All right, coach, we wish you the best of luck and now, you know, we'll see here at least once Hopefully twice a home this week Hopefully, right, yep And we'll chat again, you know, in a couple of weeks Thanks, Greg All right, for Paul Cantabene, I'm Greg Royce This has been the Paul Cantabene Show
