 Hello and welcome to the Paul Canobine show. I'm Joe Wamba joining Paul Canobine head coach of the Men's Lacrosse team. Coach, you guys had a while off, but let's talk about that Tufts game from last Tuesday. It seemed like every time you guys started to make a run back at it, they shut you down. Ultimately, you fall 16-13. What do you guys need to do to keep that coming back? I thought overall it was a really good game. Two teams getting after it feature like 106 shots, something like that, and two teams going up and down. And we just missed our opportunities. We had a lot of shots. I thought there were quality we could have made. We went over through some passes to some open guys that could have led to some goals. I thought we did a real, this sort of decision making in the middle of the field between their straying lines was a little off at times. It killed us in some of the clears where we had open guys and we threw the pass low or high or didn't quite make, or didn't see the open guy and kind of made a poor choice. So that's kind of where that game was won or lost a little. I thought they did a real good job between the lines but two good teams really getting after each other. So we're there, we're close. You know, we just got to start making more of the plays to help us win than more of the plays that don't help us win. I think we're really close to where we are. One impact player for you as JT Thielen. Is he, you had five goals. Is he starting to get back into the groove after? Well, I think JT is finally starting to get in shape after missing last year. It was a long haul for him to get back into shape where he is now. So he's moving so much better. He's running so much better. And that really helps to shoot the ball when you're in shape, especially through a course of a game. And so he's playing better and he's doing what he needs to do. We have a lot of good players that are getting people open and JT seems to be on the end of the so-called gravy train a little bit for that. But he needs to continue to finishing the ball like he's doing. He's put a lot of work into his shot so far this year. And you touched on it earlier about the defensive effort. You guys, again, played well in stretches. What do you need to do to keep playing that 60-minute game? Well, overall, you know, I think they just got us a little bit too little runs. They got us in the start of the first and the start of the third. But I thought we played pretty good defense for the most part. Between those lying decisions a couple of times off the faceoff, we made a real poor sub and gave them some opportunities. It's tough to say we played good defense when we gave up 16 goals. But I thought it was a solid effort and that we probably gave up eight goals in broken situations that normally, I think we would cover pretty good, but we didn't do it in this case. And that's how these quarter goals, but they're a very talented team that shoots the ball well. And we'll learn from it. You know, moving on to Lebanon Valley in Arcadia. Yeah, I wanted to talk about the, you know, flipping over into the conference schedule. How important is it going to be to get going on the right foot and get a W against Lebanon Valley? Well, hopefully we just continue to play the way we are alive and improve on it. And that lower our level of our play. We played really good teams. We played six ranked teams in a row. And you know, we're really excited to keep going here. And hopefully we need to maintain our level, come out of a lot of excitement, not turn the ball over as much and really put our will to some of these teams. Hopefully early on, then it'll make it a little bit easier on us. But, you know, Lebanon Valley, six and one having a great year. And then Arcadia, you know, we'll go into them. They're doing much, playing much better. So two challenging games. Well coach, we wish you the best of luck this week. And hopefully coming out of it to a no record. Oh yeah, that's the plan. Thank you. He's Paul Canabine. I'm Joe Wamba and this has been the Paul Canabine Show.
