 Welcome back to the Laurel Martin show. I'm Sam Murray joined with Stevenson field hockey head coach Laurel Martin and coach Tough week coming up But before we get to that recap last week head to head on the road to Gettysburg in afternoon game Right got the first goal and then struggle a little bit after that talk about that match up So Gettysburg game was an equally matched statistical game they they they put the balls in the net and unfortunately we struggled to do so so It was one of those games where it was a challenging thing to walk away from I know all the girls were disappointed with the outcome and And we just had to try to bounce back and and and look at the next game which was conference So a huge bounce back from that Do you think playing or you guys play a lot of seven o'clock games, especially at home? Yeah, do you think playing a four o'clock game on the road made a difference? Yeah, you hate You hate to focus on those things, but I do I mean we practice in the evenings The majority of our games are in the evening. We seem to peak at that time frame So the adjusting to a 4 p.m. Game and traveling to a 4 p.m. Game and even the you know the away game Any away game at a different field just with the different surfaces is is is definitely Something that we have to learn to to accommodate and just react to better Yeah, well you've returned home then on Saturday for a Mac Commonwealth game against Arcadia They score first, but then you guys score four straight talk about that big win Well, that was a big adjustment for us. We're trying a new system trying some people in some different positions and so the first half we were working through the new system and adjusting and doing a lot of substituting to find the right fit for the right people at the right spots and We feel pretty confident now the second half we excelled and put in four goals And so we we're pretty pleased with that result for sure And we feel confident going into York now with that new system and a new lineup So you traveled to York tonight? Yeah, they're a team that's right on the cusp of being ranked If they were if you would extend the poll, they'd be the next team ranked at 21 there What do you guys have to do? Different or adjust to to pull out of a win tonight. Well, again, it's a it's an away game And and they have a lot of momentum and they they have confidence and we're just building back into our momentum and confidence so in my opinion, I think they should be nationally ranked and I think that they just the name just hasn't gotten out there enough, but their record shows how strong they are But I think we're gonna give them a legitimate fight. We're we're doing some great things confidence is high So I I would not be surprised if we secure a win And I am hoping that at the very minimum we'll give them an absolute fight till the end Team that does have a name Comes comes here on Saturday Messiah number one in the country defending national champions You guys play them pretty close here at home. So what are you expecting for for that matchup? Again, you know home field advantage is huge. They play on a true astroturf We play on the infill and they have to adjust a lot of their game and they're playing style to a different surface Just like we have to when we travel to them So I think that at home playing them at our standard 7 p.m. Time frame is gonna be a good advantage to us So bouncing off of how we do against York will prepare us for you know, the big-name messiah And there's a player that I wanted to mention. I forgot to mention from wrapping up last week's game tan originally Yeah, she scored one goal as a freshman last year. She is six. She scored three goals last week Right. What type of leadership does she bring just as a sophomore? well, Tanner was recruited as an MVP in in her area for a defender and When she came on board I Immediately said she's not a defender and then I tried her at midfield and then I kept saying, you know She's not really a midfield either. So tana's personality is she is all heart. She's all hustle And a lot of time that's what you need on the forward line so we gave her a shot here on the forward line her sophomore year and she's just excelled and She's brought a lot of energy to the team and relentless to kid would be challenging to mark because she's all over the place and We're very pleased with her performance on the forward line Well coach we wish you the best of luck this week two tough games and we'll see you back here next week Okay, thanks for coach Martin.
