 Hi everybody, Jeff Hemmelt from SFM Sports.net here with head coach Grant Miller after a tough 1-0 defeat in the Commonwealth Conference semi-final to Arcadia. Coach, it was a fairly even first half. Both teams had chances hit off the crossbar and some other opportunities went wide. Just give me your impression of the first half and what your team talk was at halftime. Yeah, the first half I thought we actually started really well. It was a little bit nervous there. Referee made some kind of weird calls that led to some, you know, early free kicks for them that put us into some pressure. But once we kind of weathered that storm, I thought we were really all over them and, you know, Lexi's shot. But they had a shot as well off the bar, but, you know, real close. But I thought first half I thought we controlled the tempo after the first 10 minutes. And I was pretty pleased with how they played. I was really happy and I think it was 8 shots to 4 in the first half. And so we just talked at halftime about keeping it going, keeping the momentum going. Because the way we finished, especially the last 5 minutes of the first half, they couldn't get out of their half. And so we had them and I thought we had them on the ropes. Second half, you had another opponent to deal with in the weather. The fog started rolling in. I know that's really not an excuse for the overall tempo of the game, but certainly could affect things at times. And again, more opportunities went by. A couple free kicks from each side flew over the bar. An inch here and an inch there could have been a 1-0-1-1 game. And then you head into overtime and a late break there, right just as the overtime was ending, across from the far side and a free header. And that sealed the game ultimately. Yeah, I thought second half, it was pretty even. Each team actually was like, they would have a free kick, we would have a free kick. They got a yellow card, we got a yellow card. Everything was very similar and it was going to be tough to see which team was going to come out the winner. Either team I thought played great, I thought Arcadia really did well, especially they came back in the second half. But I thought we still controlled the game and then they just upped it in overtime. We didn't get our own half in overtime and that was tough. And they got us on a quick break at the end. So really proud of the girls, really proud of the seniors for what they've done on and off the field. This is our first final that we haven't made in four years. So we're pretty proud of this program and the girls are going to come back stronger. They'll be ready to go again next year. Yeah, I was going to mention that, as you mentioned. Another chance to face Messiah didn't happen this year. But just going back to the beginning of the year, I know you told me earlier in the season you had those tough non-conference opponents. So it was a little slow. If you just looked at the record, you could argue it was a little slow out of the gate. But once the conference schedule kicks in, you start 4-0 and you finish up 6-2, 6-3 now after this one. Once you guys seem to hit the conference schedule, you seem to get it going. And again, another post-season performance and again just unlucky at the end here. Yeah, like I said, proud of the girls for how they came back. We had one of the toughest schedules in the region, non-conference. We didn't take advantage, 8-1 goal losses. So when it came to the conference, we were ready for it, ready for the same teams we play every year. And the girls did really well. So I'm proud of the effort this year. We didn't get the results the way we have in the past. They are 15 seconds to go and it's going to the second overtime. So we'll move on. We'll be stronger. We're a successful program and we'll be ready for next year. Graham, again, a pleasure talking to you this year. Thanks for your post-game comments and always coming up here with some great insight for us here again. Always a pleasure. I know it wasn't the result you wanted in the end. But thanks again for joining us. It's been a pleasure as always. And we'll see you next year. Well, thank you to you, Jeff and SFM Sports and all the video guys for all their hard work this year, especially tonight and this lovely weather. So I hope you guys were able to track the ball. So thanks again. It's been a pleasure working with you guys. Thanks, Graham. Appreciate it. Coach Graham Miller joining me after the one-nothing loss to Arcadia here in the Commonwealth Semifinal.
