 Welcome back to the Tracy Johnson show presented by Buffalo Wildwings. I'm Sam Murray joined now with Stevenson women's ice hockey head coach Tracy Johnson and coach coming off a big UCHE series sweep at Chatham 4-1 win on Friday followed that up with a 2-1 victory on Saturday. Talk about your team's performance in those games. Just a great way to start out the weekend on that Friday you know it was a little bit difficult for us you know we we drove four and a half hours on the way there had to eat our pregame meal on the bus a little bit of a different routine for them on the road you know in in a good way too because it wasn't as far of a road trip but you know we got our bus legs out of us in that game and ended up putting the puck in the net a decent amount which is good getting the empty nutter to kind of put the final nail on the coffin at the end but just you know to follow that up the next day with the energy that we did in the game on Saturday was also a positive thing to see we had so many scoring chances and the message going into the third period was just keep plugging away at it and it's gonna go in and you know Monica Pozik opens it up and finds the back of the net and then Sierra follows it up with the game winner after that so just an all-around exciting weekend it was nice to get it done on the road and you know open up back getting back into conference play I should say it was a great statement to make. Yeah there's a trio who's making a big statement the past few games you mentioned two of them Monica Pozik and Sierra Samasco they're drawing on the line with Chelsea Blackburn they had 11 points over the two games this past weekend they've been paired for together for the past seven games and have 31 points they're just clicking pretty well right now. Yeah I mean if I paired together you mean trio together then yes they are doing a great job as a trio it's exciting to see Sierra Samasco just kind of you know step into this more confident role and be able to play on that line and produce on that line and it's you know I'm excited to see what they what they bring to the table the rest of the season and starting again going into this weekend another big UCHC matchup for us. I think one of the fun things to watch with your team is how much they care about each other Monica Pozik is sitting now six assist shy of tying the the school record with 48 and her teammates are really trying to get that for her it's pretty exciting to watch for you as a coach. Yeah that's probably one of the most special things I don't know if that's the right way to say that English wise but it's just a really cool experience to see how they care about each other and are just they have each other's backs and that's something that you need in order for a team to be successful and to see that just kind of blossom throughout the season has been has been a privilege to see. Yeah coming up this weekend you have another two game UCHC series you welcome Utica to Reichertown Sportsplex they're coming off a big win over William Smith talk about what you guys have to do in that in those matchups to get the win. Yeah well we will be focusing on the little things that we have to do to go into this weekend. Revisiting special teams will be crucial for us you know we have been doing well in the power play as penalty kill also but you know power play came up came up shy came up empty came up with nothing this weekend so that's what we'll be focusing on to make sure that when we're up a player and we have that advantage that we that we use it and so that will be a focus for us and then just revisiting the basics and making sure that we're sticking to Mustang hockey for 60 minutes well 120 I guess. Coach we wish you the best of luck this weekend we'll see you back here next week. Thanks so much. For coach Tracy Johnson I'm Sam Murray and this has been the Tracy Johnson Show.
