 Hello, and welcome to the Coach's Corner. I'm Joe Wamba, joined now with Graham Miller, head coach of the women's soccer team. And coach, you guys go out to Albright over the weekend. And unfortunately, with the tie, we would really like to see that third win in the conference. Yeah, it would have been great to go through in the conference with two of those games being on the road. We started off with that nice win over Weidner on the road, got the win over Hood at home in our first home conference game. And then, obviously, we went to Albright. And it was a tough game. They're always going to battle. I think they're eight and four. So we knew it was going to be a battle. They were two in one conference as well going into the game. So the coach there, he's had a good job of his team of recruiting and making them play tough. And definitely at their place, it's a bit of a narrow field. So we couldn't get as many clear cut chances as we wanted. But not to lose the game and not to lose a goal and come out of it with a tie, we can't be too unhappy about that. We just got to be a little bit more ruthless in getting chances, but pretty happy overall that at least we didn't lose the game. And happy with how the defense performed. They didn't have a lot of opportunities to shoot. Yeah, and that's the great thing. I think we limited them to six shots. And I don't know how many of them were on goal. Morgan Carey actually did a great clearance off a corner kick where the girl headed it back in. And Morgan stayed on the post and had a great clearance off the line. I think it was our third team save of the season. So Morgan was in the right place at the right time. So defensively, we did a great job. I mean, we limited them to shots. They didn't give very many chances, except for that one. And they did a great job of not allowing their forwards who have scored a lot of goals this year and of getting those clear cut chances. So it was hard for Albright to break us down. So very happy with the way the team lined up at the back and really worked well defensively. And going back to that hood game, 6-0 win. And you get everybody that's healthy into the game. It's got to be great for their experience. Going into this bye week that you don't get to play till Saturday, it's great to have that experience for everybody getting on the pitch. Yeah, we had everybody in and everybody did well. That was a really good performance at home. And hopefully we can continue that into the next home games and the conference. So everybody did well. Everybody got experience. Very happy with everyone, how they performed. And hopefully the confidence will continue. And they can show themselves in practice to get more playing time in the future. And that confidence is going to be awfully important going into the game on Saturday with Arcadia coming in. Yeah, Arcadia number seven in the country. I think they're 13-0 or 14-0. So yeah, they're going to be a tough one. They get to play on Wednesday though. So without having the bye week, there's no excuse for it is not being well rested and not being fully prepared. So starting today through this whole week, we are going to make sure that we are ready for Arcadia on Saturday. And there's going to be a tough game. They beat us last year here with 10 seconds to go in overtime, one-nothing. So we're still remembering that. And we'll hopefully use that as motivation and as well as a team that's in the top 10 that doesn't scare us, it just makes us want to play harder and be a naturally ranked team. That says something for the conference. We've got two top 10 teams where Messiah is ranked as well. Yeah, Messiah thinks like 13. I think top 15, yeah. Right, yeah. It says something for the conference. Having ranked opponents that you're going to play at least once a year and then probably again in the conference tournament. Yeah, I mean, our conference is tough. To get one of those five spots in conferences is definitely a great achievement. And that's our goal, to be in the playoffs. We've been in the playoffs every year since we've entered the Mac. We want to do it for our fifth straight year. So it's going to be tough together. And Arcadia and Messiah have led the way so far this year. And I think with some games that could have been a little bit different, we could have been up there as well. So we're ready for that on Saturday, ready for the challenge. And excited that this conference is only going to make us better. Yep. And I think playing our type of game leads us to a possibility for winning against these opponents. We have the chance to do it. Yeah, if we can keep playing great at the back like I said, with three games in conference, our defense hasn't given up a goal. So that's a great thing. So we've got to keep that going. And we're going to have to be our best to shut down Arcadia's forward line. And if we can do that, and then get something on the other end, because we've scored some nice goals and we have some players that can break open and get finished chances. So I think, yeah, we've got to be confident and got to be just highly motivated and treat them with respect, obviously. But we've got to go after it on Saturday. And I'm excited for it. Well, coach, have a good week. In practicing this week, keep that confidence and that momentum rolling into the game on Saturday. And we'll talk to you afterwards. Same's great, man. He's a granular. I'm Joe Wamba, and this has been the Coach's Corner.
