 Day two of the green total classic powered by SFM sports net Glenn Clark now joined by your coach Brandon Charles after they fell 97 here today to Lynchburg on day two coach. Let me start by asking you this from up top It's sense like when the snow really started coming down. It had an impact on the game How much did you sense that at field level? Um, well the first thing I tell you is that I'm a Lynchburg alum and when I played for Coach Kedalka we used to kid that he could control the weather Fifteen years later he can still control the weather. I think things like this impact both teams You know, he's crazy. I'm crazy. We practice in snow all the time Neither team was wearing sweats or jackets, right? So both teams used to it and both teams had to play under those conditions So there's no no doubt that those big flakes and the ball and whatnot But both teams have to play under it and we were sloppy today, but I don't think we were sloppy because of the snow I think we're sloppy because of Lynchburg's athleticism You fought to get back in it tie it up in the second half and it seemed like at that point all the momentum was on your side Why were you not able to sustain that in the final minutes? Yeah I mean the big difference was when that we back-to-back man down penalties Yeah, and they scored on both of them and yesterday we went man down one time against Nazareth and The whole weekend we knew we couldn't go man down against either team They're too good on offense to go man down they scored on both of those And and that got them some momentum So I called a time out there and just told my guys, you know They scored two goals when we're down a guy they should you know and then from them It was pretty even or we kind of jumped ahead there actually so That was the kind of the game changer those back-to-back penalties and scoring on both of them on their behalf And and you know if you take those two goals away, you know, maybe we get this one Well, then it seemed like that like four minute possession there in the fourth quarter We just weren't able to come up with a goal that that really was kind of the one that seemed to suck the life out of it At that point you can't have that long of a possession not come away with a goal. Yeah, absolutely I thought we did a good job being patient early on in the game I mean, I think we had 11 turnovers at halftime. I ended up with 17. We had six total yesterday So to end up with you know only turned it over six times in the second half that those kinds of poised possessions in the second half Was what we wanted to do. So yeah, it would have been nice to get one there But you know it was such a young team. I'm just happy that we we were disciplined and got to good Looks that we did we just didn't cash in on them. I give us an update on Caleb It looked like a groin injury from where we were. Yeah, I think it's a hamstring actually I have no idea how bad it's going to be You know, fortunately, we've been doing this man down goalie thing for three years now So so the guy that comes in there for us Who's a senior and you actually saw he generated that one goal for us in transition So we'll be just fine Obviously, I love Caleb to death and he's a senior and I want him to be fine But if not, it'll be the next man up and we got another senior ready to go All right, and you finish the weekend 1-1 and obviously it's your first loss of the season But I imagine you still like where your team is headed coming out of this trypto and smells. Yeah, absolutely I mean the last thing I just said to my assistant before I walked up here is we got a lot better today I thought as the game went on offensively We played a lot better and I think some of our youth that were playing on offense really learned a lot this weekend and then I think, you know Try to practice some humility here, but I think defensively we're really good Yeah, and to hold a Lynchburg team that's been scoring a lot of goals on a lot of people Down and I looked at stats close enough to see what Stuart and Murphy did today But to do what we did to Wooters and have full yesterday and then Murphy and Stuart today I really like our team defensively and so I think there's a lot of confidence to take from this weekend But a lot of things to learn from as well. Coach appreciate you coming up here and spend this time with us Best of luck moving forward. Absolutely. Thanks, Coach Brandon Chow.
