 Welcome back to the Toddy Korba show. I'm Sam Murray joined with Stevenson women's soccer head coach Toddy Korba And coach let's talk about the Shenandoah game first fall behind three nothing Rally to tie the game at 33 fallen overtime for three. What happened in that game? It took us a little while I think to wrap our heads around what happened in that game it was just a really slow start from us and Actually, we were lucky to only be down one nothing at halftime, which was the the PK that was called and Came out second half, you know different ideas different formation and let in those two early goals in the second half and Fortunately, you know, I mean at that point it was really kind of up to the team in terms of how they were going to respond You know, obviously we couldn't really get a hold of them again and no time out. So Really just credit to them for kind of digging deep and we were able to shuffle in a lot of different people and really put the pressure on and I think showed a lot of character for the team and so, you know to know that that's in place and that exists is Is a great thing, you know for us to know going forward, but Yeah, to tie it up was great and then hit the crossbar in the post two three times and overtime and You know for them to finish I think, you know it was heartbreaking, but I don't know that we should have been in that situation in the first place and You know, I think given that it was a tough overtime loss It also allowed us to really focus on, you know, the things that we had to fix and improve So it was it was a tough one to take though. Well, you rebounded on Saturday at the sales Another shutout all your wins have been shutouts this year to nothing and in that game Tiffany McKee stopped a penalty a penalty kick in that one How did your team respond in that game? A good response. I think coming off of the Shenandoah game You know, and I think DeSales is a good team and they had, you know, one of their forwards had 11 goals on the year So we were aware of that and I thought our defense really played, you know, pretty tight sold out on a lot of stuff and 16 who was DeSales leading scored really didn't get many looks and Yeah, I got some good goals and Tiff came up huge on the on the PK and just a good response from the team on that PK rebound as well. So You know, I think to head out to DeSales, it's a long trip Again, it was, you know, it was a hot hot day and just a good effort What we're looking for, you know, going forward is just more consistency We've also gone win-loss win-loss win-loss the last couple of games So hoping to to, you know, get some more consistency in that win column I might sound like a broken record saying this but the youth again To two freshmen get their first career goals last week another one with their first career point with an assist You're still kind of balancing that starting 11. Is there anyone who's kind of like stepping up who has really impressed you this last week? I think we're fortunate in that we just have a lot of options and we want to continue to do that So, you know, we've been able to shuffle in even groups of forwards Keep everybody fresh and knowing that teams don't really sub their back line, you know Hopefully we have fresh legs throughout majority of the game Certainly Lauren Spivey, you know three consecutive goals has stepped up in a major way and You know, we're still we're looking for that consistency. We're looking for consistency from our forwards, you know Who's finishing? Obviously, who's creating chances? How are they working on both sides of the ball? So it's it's really competitive, which is good, but we certainly would like to have things nailed down I think a little bit more and and really know who our go-to players, you know, who the ones we can really count on Who they are because I think we're we're still kind of skirting around that a little bit right now We conclude your sixth game road trip on Wednesday Light light trip quick trip to Johns Hopkins, but they're ranked 11th in the country right now What do you tell your team heading into a game like that? We're really going to try and continue to focus on us obviously Hopkins is a great team But what we're looking for right now is is again consistency. It's it's what we want to do in training We're gonna have to come in and battle and compete and really scrap against Hopkins and Hopefully make things messy for them But you know, I think it's just any given soccer game certainly it could go either way so You know, honestly, it's not so much that you know We're preparing for Hopkins as much as we're still trying to prepare for who we're going to be this season our real focus obviously is kind of conference and You know, however, we walk out of Wednesday's game against Hopkins We want to feel good heading into you know our game on Saturday against Albright. Yeah So you start conference play you're finally back home on Saturday hosting Albright going into conference play What's what's the goal in that first conference game? again, I think to kind of make it clean and and to You know have our defense play well obviously, you know want to win that game But want to play well in that game I'd like to see a little bit more of an kind of an uptick and a little more intensity, you know given that it's conference and really just people kind of laying it all on the line and You know, this is it and we talk about this is the opportunity to extend your season Which is what ultimately, you know, we're trying to do and So I think just a good clean game to kind of continue to just build and build and and develop confidence and some consistency and I Don't think we're close yet to peaking as a team I still think we're in kind of some forming stages and some figuring things out. So You know, but that needs to start to really to come together soon So hopefully the Albright game is an is another one that gets us closer to where we want to be and kind of who we're going to be this season Well, we wish you the best of luck in both those games and excited to see you back here.
