 Welcome to the Kathy Rayleigh show. I'm Joe Wombo joined now with Kathy Rayleigh head coach of the women's lacrosse team coach You guys have moved this win streak into four games now What have been the keys to that success to get that four game win streak? Oh, you know, I think we're starting off on fire I think we come out of every game and we dominate the draw draw control early and we're causing turnovers early So we kind of get in the heads of our opponents You know within the first minute minute and minute or two of the game and then we're not afraid to shoot the ball 30 times. So, you know, we're we're scoring 20 again I think on average 20 a game, which is which is great. We're dominating possession time We're getting to execute a lot of our offensive plays Getting that repetition that in games that is so important and at one point you talked about work in the box And you guys have been doing that successfully as well and making long clears and having them be successful Sure, we made it. I think a really key change About three or four games ago and that was putting Hannah tankers Lee Having her run more of a midfield role and having her run that defensive box position Hannah is very visible on the field. She puts up a great. She's tall Yeah, she runs like a deer and she puts up a great target for the girls to see she also understands that position So as great as it is having her height playing low on the defensive end I think it's really helped us kind of push that transition make us much more comfortable in transition moving her up to the midfield She certainly has been a weapon for you in that regard. I think she scored, too At least gotten in assist With 20 goals again, it's hard to keep count Now as you guys move forward into this week you guys are playing your final two conference games against two teams that are ahead of you in The standings how important are these two games going to be for you heading in these these games are just Unbelievably important. We're gonna be on the road for both of them We don't we don't want to see Messiah in the first round of the play or the you know the semi-finals of the playoffs We don't want to play in game. We don't want to be tired We want I would really like to have that time After Wednesday's game to kind of know where we're gonna sit pretty much I'm sorry next Tuesday's game to know where we're gonna sit in the standings and start preparing for Opponent who we think opponent one is and who we know opponent two is going to be so Both Albright and my coming come with a lot of firepower Their defenses are their weaknesses. So if we continue getting the draw that will be the biggest impact I think just having possession will put us in a really good position to win both of those games As we move forward to the rest of the season you have three more games remaining Mm-hmm all of them away from Mustang Stadium. How hard is it going to be to have to do that play away? It's not going to be too hard, you know playing in the mid-Atlantic It's it's not like you're on a bus for eight hours and and I think our longest trip will be to Pittsburgh And that's just about four hours long and that that'll be at the very last weekend of the regular season Albright's two hours like coming two and a half hours, you know these girls it actually is really good for bonding with girls I worry academically as a coach that worry that they are not staying ahead of their studies because they do get out I have to get out of class sometimes And there's work that's due when they get back and then we're getting back You know if we have a seven o'clock game two hours away, you do kind of worry about that But they have a grand time together. I you know we travel a full week together Three three more days isn't going to hurt anybody. It's actually going to bring them closer together Well, we're looking forward to that and hopefully we continue this four game win streak move it to maybe seven great Thank you. She's Kathy Rayleigh.
