 Hello and welcome to the Paul Cantamene Show presented by Buffalo Wildwings. I'm Greg Royce joined by Stevenson, head men's lacrosse coach Paul Cantamene. Coach played Cabrini last Friday night, great win, picked up your first win of the year, got off to a great start. And they made it around the second half, you were able to hold them off. Yeah, you know it's great to get a victory after a while. You know the guys have been working really hard and I think we played a really high level lacrosse and five of our first six games and getting through a lot of injuries. So it's good to see all the young guys really come together especially defensively doing really well. Drew Costco, you know doing a great job and Timmy Brooks or Cabrini who's had a great season for them and really kind of holding crew who's one of the preseason players of the year in check a little bit and LaParro who's so good I think Austin played him so well. So he did a great job and I think our offense really gave us a chance as well. I think we played a lot tighter. We finally shot the ball pretty well hitting some of the shots that we need to and Justin gave us a real chance at the face off actually, you know against a really good kid that kids had a really good season and he really started to play better. So we're starting to get better there, Justin's starting to play a little bit better and we're doing well and Sam stole a few for us. You know he played really well in the goal and so we're starting to do some things and we're starting to come together with the new guys playing really well now. They're starting to get in there and understand what we need to do and so hopefully we can just keep it going into this week. Yeah obviously like you said defensively you had to make some changes there and some of the new guys like you said on Friday night really stepped up. Yeah and I think really Drew Costco played unbelievable for us. You know really being in Timmy Brooks all day, really being on his gloves and limiting him to really no good shots. I thought every shot that Timmy took he was really on him and got a couple key ground balls for us and played some really good team defense in there and then our polls like Al Falco and Kevin McCarthy who scored that game winning he scored the 14th goal there but he got so excited about, you know we did a good job with those younger guys getting in there and especially our Mitty D's doing a good job as well giving us a chance. So you know defensively we're really starting to come together I think and understand how we have to play. We really have to do a connet on the fly with all the injuries we didn't have the preseason to get everybody in those shapes but we're starting to do a much better job there. Hopefully we can continue that. Yeah McCarthy's goal I thought you were going to tackle after he scored that one. I was excited yeah you know we're excited that was a good goal and excited for Kevin he's worked really hard and scored a big goal I think the bench and everybody's really excited about that so yeah it's good for him and you know it's good to be excited. Yeah absolutely obviously very emotional game and obviously good to finally get one. Yeah to get that first W is always exciting. It took a while. Yeah now shifting gears you start conference play this week you've got a verney at home and you travel Albright on Saturday so obviously you want to keep that momentum up going in the conference play this week. Yeah it's like we told them in practice today you know you really got to do a good job of maintaining what we're done. We were used to playing at a high level we can't lower a level of play we have to do a good job come out and play you know alvernia and Albright or conference foes are going to play hard and we have to be ready for that challenge and not lower a level of play that we're used to playing at because we have a couple of really tough games next week and Stevens Tech and Lynchburg so we got to play well and that's our goal to continue to get better and hopefully we can get some other people in the game for their process to get them better and just keep moving forward. Our goal is just one step at a time just keep going forward. Alright coach we wish you the best of luck this weekend we'll chat next week. Appreciate it Greg.
