 Joining us now is the head coach of the Mustangs, Coach Paul Cantabena joins us high top Mustangs Stadium. Coach, I'll begin with the final minute of regulation. You had the ball leading by one. Can you take me through what you wanted and your reaction to the decision to shoot the ball there? Well, I think we got everything we wanted. I think we did a great job with the extra man, and then we were killing the time, and Ethan just made a poor choice. I mean, he's a young kid. He's a sophomore. He's a tremendous player. And he put us in the position to win the game. He made a mistake. He's going to learn from it. You take those shots. Everybody knows you take those shots in that position. You better make it. And he didn't. And we didn't want him to shoot it. I was waiting for a time out there. I thought he was going to kind of pull it. Wasn't ready for him to shoot it, but he's a great kid. He's crying in there. It's a tough way. And he wanted us to win. And so as everybody did in the locker room, and we put our position itself in a great position. And unfortunately, mistakes happen. And that's the game of lacrosse. And they capitalized it and got there. And they made a tough play in the end. They had a ground ball. They made a tough play. The kid inside stuck a shot that probably nobody's saving. So it's just what it is. Yeah, I think without a doubt, defensively, you guys played great tonight. I just want to talk a little bit about how the defense kind of rallied around losing to your best players and really standing strong in front of Sam tonight. Yeah, well, there are two great defense out there. Gettysburg has a tremendous defense, as they've shown. And they did a great job. And I think our defense did a young buck stepping up, doing a really, really good job in there. A lot of new kids playing for the first time. And they showed they can play. They did some really good things. Sam, he's just getting better. Both goalies are outstanding. Brady was great. He had 14, 13 saves, and Sam had 14. So both of them made the head-standing saves. They were great. Both were great. But we just got to keep getting better. As I told our guys in the locker room, we're really proud of them. We got to keep got so much better from week one to week two. Now we got to get better from week two to week three. And I think we are. I think we know how to play. We know what we're doing. We're getting the shots that we want. We're playing the style that we want to think for us to be successful. And we just came up a little short. We played two great teams. We played Denison, who's excellent. We played Gettysburg, who's excellent. We played five. Now we're playing four. Then we played four. Then we're playing five. Now get to play three. That's the way it is. We'll be excited. It'll be a great atmosphere. But you can't, two weeks in a row, no better atmosphere on the cross than right here in Mustang Beach. It's been fun. Coach, is there a way to define what's the difference? You've been in these games. I mean, these are games that were decided in the final seconds, both weeks. Is there a way to define what's the difference between being in these games and then how you need to finish them moving forward? Well, you got to know. They got a lot of guys that have played, you know, one and seven have played a lot of lacrosse for them and 30. And, you know, they got some guys and they, you know, they made a play, you know. But to win these games, you know, you got to be able to, you can't be afraid of the moment. And, you know, you got to make some plays. And we've had a lot of guys that weren't that, but these are young guys. If you look at a roster, we've only had like seven or eight guys that played a lot for us. And we got a lot of new guys and they're good, but they just haven't been in those positions before. When you get put in those positions, you get better and better and better. Ethan hasn't been in that position a lot. Now, it was really the first time the game kind of was balancing on his stick a little bit. And he kind of thought he had it. You know, we live with him, he's a great kid. We're going to get better. Should he not have shot it? I think we all know what he should have done. But he'll get better and we're not going to, we're not going to, we're going to work at it. We're not going to hold it against him. And he's the reason we were put in position. And we just keep, you just keep getting better. You get players put in that position, you get better and better at it. And, you know, two weeks in a row, we've been in two positions to win games and came up a little short. But I think, you know, in the end, you know, we're going to start getting ours. We got a high character locker room, kids that want to win, a lot of tears flowing right now. But I think the tears are great. That's what makes you, that's a show in that you're kids care and you're getting better. And that's what's great about a locker room right now. Coach, I have to apologize. There's a blinding light in the way. I don't even know who you brought up. It's the sun. It's obviously the sun. Wow. I figured that might have been the one that you would bring up tonight. Coach, I know this was tough, but I appreciate you coming up and chatting with us. Best of luck next Saturday at Salisbury. Thank you very much. Here's Coach Paul Cantabene joining us here in the All Access Post Game Show.
