 Now joined by the head coach the Mustangs coach Kathy Rayleigh coach. It's good to see you We talked a lot today about you guys never trailed Every time they challenge you every time they responded your team came up with the plays that were necessary How proud are you of the effort that your girls had here today? You know, I'm so proud of them you know, it wasn't pretty at times, but sometimes it was very pretty and We got contributions out of so many different people today And that's what I love to see as a coach and what I told them down in the locker room as we were heading up You know picking a player to kind of highlight today I said I could look around the room and look at each face and say gosh I remember when you did this so great in today's game And I know when I remember when you did this so great in this game I could go around person to person and identify really wonderful moments that each person had that makes a coach happy The W makes the coach really very happy But you know it makes it happy that we're making strides Taking strides forward and which is what we need to do, you know, this was our last non-conference game We got to be ready now great We talked about it's tell us if you agree with this We talked about how it was good that today was a battle that you came out on top of as opposed to it being a Lopsided victory right well I'm gonna take responsibility for us coming out cold out at the at the beginning of the second half You know, I let the kids out let the girls out late. I should have had him out here Kind of it's a cold day can't run out of the locker room and step foot on the field and and be ready to go So I'll take responsibility for those first five or ten minutes and that's in that first half And then after that I felt we settled in a little bit a little bit better You know, we got way better at our free position goals I think we were four for four on our free position goals in the second half which is you know to go from fifty percent in the first half to a hundred percent in the second half is really that's important we didn't do so great on the draws and and Sometimes, you know the draws can there's some luck involved in that We were oftentimes in the second half as well as the first half first to touch it We just weren't getting it and and that cost us some some possessions You know credit to Buffalo State I thought that they had some good game plans on their attacking side But I thought that we as the game was going on that second half was going on We were getting better at zeroing in on that and you know Mac Ferguson stepped up her play Yes, yes and good ones and good She made the adjustments that we talked about at the at the halftime So what is the we're going to talk to Jamie about in a second But what is this anything you can do I can do better thing that she and Sarah already have gone on right now Where they end up combining not just for how they play defensively, but four goals for you guys today Well, you know It's they're both such good players and they both know how to dodge and they both just have Know how to get to a space at a quick speed a lot of the troubles that we've had on our attack Is that we are attackers and our mitties don't attack like that and it's good to see that We're gonna have highlights and film to show this is how you go to goal now Whether or not you take the shot there were times that both of these girls both Jamie and Sarah Didn't take the shot, but they made so many people Crash to them and play to them that we were open on the help side to maybe make a better More of a layup type shot. So I think that this it's great. I think that you know if we could get a couple more You know we had Gabby to Jilla had had one go out I would love to see her score as well Maybe that'll light a fire under some of our attackers that really need to go that hard and transition to go Besides Carly Carly Bose goes that hard, but everybody else could learn a lesson Well, you've talked all season about how too many of your goals come from your midfield Yes, and from your defense as well not from your attack What what changed you need to make for that or did the girls need to make for that they have to number one They have to really make quicker moves and sharper in sharper directions We talk a lot this last couple days and today in particular about our cuts not being round Our cuts should be straight lines and have hard corners. I think we're still working on that with some of the younger attackers We didn't our attackers didn't finish well today I thought we created some things and we got open and then we just shot right into the goalie's chest So at least we're to the point that we're catching the ball in the middle and we're releasing a shot I think that that was good They just they have to go hard. They look scared. They play scared They play one at a time whereas the middle middies. It's there's no doubt that they're going you can see the fire in their eyes We just need a little more fire on that attack Coach in the meantime Congratulations on a win. Thank you and best of luck as you head out on the road to open up conference play this week Thank you both. Thank you. She is coach Kathy Rayleigh
