 Welcome into the Toddy Korba show. I'm Sam Murray joined by head women's soccer coach Toddy Korba and coach. Thanks for joining me Thank you for having me. So let's recap a thrilling opening weekend to shutouts Start with a two-nothing win over Methodist and then a an exciting one-nothing overtime victory versus Wisconsin Oshkosh Talk about those two ends. I think you know to get the first game kind of under our belts get the first game jitters out we started some freshman certainly started some people in some different positions and they've been in so You know, I don't think it was really our best play against Methodist But the important thing is we've we finished some chances and were able to walk away with a win The next day against Oshkosh I thought was much more and a Stevenson soccer the way we want to play what we've been working on in training And I thought we did a really good job creating a lot of chances They really put a lot of numbers behind the ball. So Took us a while to kind of crack them down, but I thought just overall, you know for an opening weekend We we got a lot of people in Just a great team atmosphere and obviously coming away with two wins, which was important So you talked about the freshman a lot of them getting their first caps But also scoring their first goals Gabrielle Arter's one of the twins and Marissa in Lisa both score So just talk about the youth talk about that freshman class. It's it's been it's a great freshman class there's 16 of them and Riley the fever is another one who is starting for us at center back and she's just been growing she was I thought she was Very very good against Oshkosh the Arter's both Allison and Gabby and We've had just a bunch of people you're coming in Melanie Parn cuts another one that we've put in it forward and there's just a lot of potential in that freshman class and some of them are getting game time Everybody's doing well in training and I think you know whether it's later on this season or you know Maybe next year for some of them, but we're expecting big things from that class And then you also have talented seniors as well Tiffany McKee and net was named the Mack Commonwealth defensive player of the week with her To shout out she had nine saves in that win over Methodist But then also defensively you have Sam someone like Sam Hooker who you guys then only allowed one shot on net in that second game So just talk about them. Yeah, again. I think Brittany Solano is doing a great job in the back at center back for us Sam again Had a great game against Oshkosh and really kind of held down the middle of the field So it's been a really good mix of I think young people coming in Certainly some Returners and I think just again the returners have really done a great job bringing in this big freshman class and making them feel part of things and Really getting them on board quickly which has helped with team chemistry and our culture and stuff like that but I think You know a great weekend for Tiff and then You know a lot of that also due to a good effort from our back line Moving forward you host Gettysburg tonight, and then you hit the road You're at st. Mary's on Sunday, and that kind of starts a six-game road trip So let's just talk about the two upcoming games you have this week Mm-hmm. I think Gettysburg tonight is I'm looking forward to it There are obviously a talented team I think the games at Stevenson, you know Stevenson Gettysburg games have always been close So I think it'll be a good test for us tonight to really see where we are I know they've got a lot of you know They move the ball pretty well, and they've got some quick forwards with a lot of pace up top And I think it'll be a good challenge for us We'll see if this weather is an impact or not, but And then yeah headed to st. Mary's on Sunday again. It's Always a close game, and I think that you know st. Mary's is coming off of You know a tough weekend, I think where they had some close games and So I think again, we don't have a break in our schedule I don't think there's there's an easy team on there or someone that we can look past So I think just you know game in and game out We've got to focus one at a time and and really just hope to bring our best effort that day Well, we wish you the best of luck in both those games and Congratulations for surviving your first Toddy Korba show.
