 Welcome back to the Kathy Rayleigh show presented by Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm Sam Murray joined now with Stevenson Women's Lacrosse head coach Kathy Rayleigh and coach maybe not the way you want it last week to go. You fall to McDaniel at home and then fall to top ranked Gettysburgers, top ranked for a reason to talk about last week. You know these interviews aren't fun to do, it's not fun to come and sit down and chat about how you didn't put together a good week. One of the things that we try to talk about this season is not letting one mistake turn into two. So I think not to make excuses but there are a couple things going on. We definitely had the flu run through our team. We don't have a tremendously deep team and not being able to put our best foot forward I think against McDaniel really caused us some anxiety going into Gettysburg. So I can tell you we had some really great possessions against Gettysburg, the number one team in the country. They're number one for absolutely for a reason they are that good. Having played Salisbury who's right now ranked sixth in the nation, I can just tell you how much better Gettysburg is as a unit as a team on all ends of the field. So you know we're happy to play those games but I really would really have loved to have put our best foot forward just athletically, focus-wise. So I'm really looking forward to this week. We've got the whole team back at practice and we're ready to get back to work. Yeah I mean statistically looking at the McDaniel game to the Gettysburg game statistically you look like a better team on paper, especially at the withdrawal controls. What do you have to work on in practice this week to get better? We have to do a better job managing the clock. I think we have to do a better job of becoming mentally focused when that first whistle blows. So far it seems to me like the trend is we come out we're very focused for one or two possessions and then we kind of crumble on both ends of the field making the same mistakes. I have no problem making mistakes. I don't want to make the same mistake in a game you know throwing a ball that's that's easily intercepted or mistakes in the clear. I want to continue to get better and when you have a young group like we have on attack right now I think that that is mentally defeating. So we've been doing a lot of work in practice for immediate penalties on simple things that we're doing wrong. We're doing a lot of practice in trying to really identify how we as the Stephenson women's across team want to utilize the clock. And I think you know the shot clock being new. It was new for all of us at Division three and how we were going to manage that. And it's really interesting to see team by team how we go about that. I thought Gettysburg managed the clock really well. I want to be able to do the same thing. I want to be able to really think about those possessions and work accordingly. So we've got a full week of practice which we I know the girls don't love but I love as a coach to get ready for Randolph-Macon. And you know we really hope to put to our best foot forward on Saturday. All coach you can answer that question right there. So I'll say I wish you the best of luck this weekend. We'll see you back here next week. Great. Thank you for Coach Kathy Rayleigh. I'm Sam Murray and this has been the Kathy Rayleigh show.
