 Alright, let's welcome in the head coach of the Mustangs. We called it by the way. We did call it Not even a joke she is coach Kathy Rayleigh and she is the coach of the regular season champions Stevenson University Yeah, right coach you would have told me running clock I would have called you a big giant liar It's on fire you were you were when we talked on Saturday you seem pretty confident you seem pretty excited about What was gonna happen here tonight? Again, there's a there's confidence then there's 14 to 3 confidence, right? Did you think that this was possible tonight? Yes, I I definitely thought it was possible I you know, I really think our team defense has been getting better and better with every single game I think that You know playing that tough schedule in the beginning of the year. We're a it's such a great learning Experience for these players and especially when you have so many freshmen out on the field You're able to take them through the you know look at how this team does this and if we had you know It's the X's and O's are so apparent in that game film And I think it's very helpful for that so I you know I think that that's part of the reason but these last couple games with the shutdowns of You know Zero they had zero goals in And it was a team effort it wasn't like oh they have one goal scorer and and you know We put our we put Carly Bose on her just so that she couldn't score they have multiple goal scorers and and they weren't you know They're missing a key player today, which I don't know if she'll be back or not But and I think that threw them off a little bit But at the same time this the shutdown of the remainder of the team was incredible and one of my goals was to just not put them on the free position eight meter and I think they had a handful but not many and You know Matt came up big when she was supposed to and the defense came up big when they were supposed to and the attack Controlled the clock when they were supposed to have the draw controls We're getting better and better at the draw control. So I mean I guess I'm the confidence and again That's a young group. So the confidence is getting getting better and better there and and you know Bringing Sarah today was such an easy choice Sarah You know had a foot injury heading into the season and we I just was chomping at the bit waiting for her to become back To full strength and this last couple of games has just been so fun to watch her Come back into our own you know the confidence that I know she has and she's feeling it strength-wise and her footwork is so much better And it's just it just elevated her whole game once she started her injury started to heal And I'm so proud of of what she did today all every player did today real quick three Free possession is that was it just that's all we gave them. That's pretty amazing. Yeah, you guys That's just it just is it's exciting I'm happy with where we are as we head into the conference tournament, you know, we got a target on our backs now You know, I like to I'm constantly trying to remind the girls You know, I don't want to be please don't think us cocky. We're not cocky. We don't think we can beat and everybody in the whole world But we're very confident with where we are with our game and and how we're getting better and better every day And how we're practicing what our work ethic is and we think if we're putting ourselves in the best position to advance a good Hopefully another week or two deservedly so I Talk quite often in our post-game interviews about you wish your team would play an entire 60 minutes. Yeah How do you know I more than even the last couple games playing? Where were we all bright and Arcadia and The last three or four games it has been a full 60. I think it started with Washington College I think we had a kind of a slow start at Washington College And then all of a sudden it was like we played the last 45 minutes as great as we possibly could so the conditioning The the confidence in each other the motivation of each other I think is so important. So I mean, I don't know if you guys can hear our bench from being behind the glass or wherever Where are you guys? But if you can if you could hear the bench what you would hear is the constant Elevation by cheering of the girls on the sideline and having that many people The energy is so great. So I love it. I We just got better and better with every minute today Speed around here because we don't want to keep it all night. You guys have celebrating to do You bring that up We talked a little bit during our broadcast night about the two injured players about keely and Lauren and what this means to them And how involved they've been and how they get to celebrate just like everybody else Absolutely, this is this is a victory for every single person on the team You know, we have a scout team and that scout team prepared our defense yesterday And or Monday and Monday and Tuesday. So that scout team went out there. They didn't set foot on the game field today But we they've got to feel so great about how they challenged our defense That our defense was as prepared as could be to hold Messiah to three goals. That's huge You know having keely and Lauren on the sideline their attitudes are fantastic They're there some of the biggest cheers that are over there You know, we've got a captain who didn't see the game field today in Morgan Bateman There's nobody that I would want in my corner more than Morgan. So great team effort Everybody over there was as positive as could be and I hope that they do know how much they contribute to our win And the only thing on the night where she broke the all-time Stevens and single-season scoring record the only thing we've mentioned about Carly Bows is our defense so far in this interview We need to talk about it. Obviously. What a moment for her. What a moment for this program Yeah, well, you know, there were times that they would send three girls and she would just eliminate all three You know, I do think that Carly is You know, I do think that Carly is one of the best in the country and and no matter what team She's on there would be the better for it to have her like she's impossible guard. Her defense is exceptional I Mean it just it her team defense and her one or nobody gets past her one-on-one She's attackers back five yards She does she she gets called for that sometimes She's just so much physically faster and stronger than anybody she if you take a step back She's already cut that step and you're never getting back in. I mean you just but offensively, you know I think she shot. I don't even know how many times she could have easily had more more goals than that But you know with three four girls on her She just sees the cage well She sees the gaps well and she attacks them and and you know, she really Gosh, she's just such a great player all the way around And a great human being and an exceptional student You know just a package we couldn't be more proud to have her be a Mustang and you get her for another year Coach congratulations. Thank you. I'll see you next Wednesday. Awesome. Coach Kathy Rayleigh now
