 Welcome back to the Toddy Korba show. I'm Sam Murray, joined with Stevenson Women's Soccer head coach Toddy Korba, and hopefully a happy coach. 2-0 last week. Take down eighth ranked Johns Hopkins in overtime. Let's start there. What were the emotions going on on the bench watching that game? You know, a ton of emotion, great emotion, really took everybody there to pull that one out. And we just really showed up really on the front foot, and I think really did well applying pressure to Hopkins. And just from the start felt like we're in this game. Ton of credit to the team for going up 1-0, and then the tie, and then going up 2-1, and then a tie. And then to come back in overtime really showed a lot of character, which we've found throughout this entire season. But it was a great win. It was a great effort. It was an exciting game, always a good thing when you can beat a team like that. But at the same time, it wasn't a conference game. So it only kind of gets you so far, but certainly gave us a lot of confidence in knowing that we can play with and beat one of the best teams in the country. Well, it's definitely a confidence booster. Playing the eighth ranked teams, also the first time in program history that Stevenson has beaten Johns Hopkins. I know your graduate assistant Ali Andrejak. She never beaten Johns Hopkins in her career, so probably an exciting moment for her. But those goals, they were all very exciting. Brittany Solano bends one in off the corner kick. That's the second time she's on that in her career. Raven Isaac gets her first career goal. And then Marissa and Lisa miss overtime. It's her third game winner. So talk about all the different contribution that you're getting all around from top to bottom. You know, a great corner from Britt. And then really, you know, Raven, a great job following up that play. But really, that was a tremendous effort from Kellan Whitman, received the ball at midfield, and just took on two, three, four players and got a shot off. And again, credit to Raven for following it up. You know, goalkeeper kind of mishandled it. And Raven was there to poke it in. And then, yeah, I mean, Marissa just, she's such a committed player. And she works so hard. And she's always out taking additional shots out on the turf by herself and working to improve her game. And she'd actually worked quite a bit that week on finding that far post goal. And obviously, we're glad she'd been working on that finish. But just really, honestly, a brilliant first touch from her, a great ball from Alex Hamill sending that in. So again, I mean, having people step up in big situations all the way from freshmen to seniors. One last thing from that game in net, Tiffany McKee broke the school's career save record with her 267. She got that in overtime. What has she meant to you in this program? I mean, I was so fortunate to inherit Tiff as a goalkeeper. And I think our goalkeeper coach, Adam Lewis, has done an amazing job with her. She's an outstanding goalkeeper. And I think he's really helped her get even better this season and really reach and exceed her potential. But she's outstanding. And we would not be seven and three without her. She's saved us more times than I think any of us can count. And she's just, she's a great leader. She worked so hard. And she's really just been tremendous in goal for us this year. So you then you came home after that six game road trip. You hosted Albright in the conference opener for you. Maybe not the best game on the field, but you came away with a 2-1 victory. Kellan Whitman gets a Kellan Whitman type goal also a year to the day that she tore her ACL. So pretty exciting for her. And then Emily Lord also scores for the first time. Talk about, while may not be the prettiest performance, you kind of grit it one out there for the win. And I think that's what we need to do in conference. You know, I think on paper you can take the worst team in a conference and have them play the best team in a conference. And it still should be a battle. So, you know, that's just the additional element that I think conference brings. And, you know, we knew coming off of the Hopkins win with the emotion and the amount that went into that game that, you know, Albright, though it was a conference game and more important than Hopkins, we knew it was gonna be difficult, I think, to bring that same energy and, you know, same intensity and it was not our best effort. But, you know, again, like you said, I think grinding it out is something that you sometimes just have to do in conference. And, yeah, Emily Lord stepped up and finished a nice goal and then, you know, like you said, a classic kind of Kellen goal. And, you know, and I think we kind of did what we had to do. It was not pretty. It's not how we wanna play. You know, it wasn't the same reaction after that game that it was after the Hopkins game. But again, I think just, you know, getting the winning conference and knowing that it just is gonna take that character and grinding it out to get it done. So moving forward, you guys have pretty much a week off. Don't play again till Friday night. So I'll thank Graham for this scheduling here. You play Kenyan in a non-conference game at home Friday night and then turn around and play a conference game against Weidner, who has a pretty decent record thus far. What are you gonna tell your team, or what do you go into a non-conference game with a conference game right behind it? How do you treat that type of game? Well, it's something that we're still managing a little bit right now on a Monday trying to figure out exactly what we're gonna do. But you know, we're fortunate that we do have 41 people and I think it's gonna take all of us in training. We have a lot of depth. Certainly Kenyan is not a game that we want to give away. Obviously we'd like to win them both, but more weight is gonna go towards Weidner. So we're still managing exactly what we're going to do and how we're gonna sort this out. But I think we're fortunate in that I think we have the numbers and I think we have the talent in order to get people a lot of time and make sure we're resting some legs and still trying to come out on top both games and still looking for, again, that consistency in players to figure out how we're gonna go about handling this weekend. Well, luckily they're both at home so we're excited to see you on a little home stretch here instead of on the road. She's Toddy Korba. I'm Sam Murray and you've been watching the Toddy Korba Show.
