 Welcome back to the Toddy Korba show presented by Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm Sam Murray joined now with Stevenson women's soccer head coach Toddy Korba and coach last time we talked you just come off that win against Marymount prior to that you're 1-6-1 but since that Marymount win your team's gone 7-1 over this stretch. Team doesn't do that if they're not resilient and they're not hard-working. How proud of you of your team to get yourself in this position where you are. Yeah it's it's kind of remarkable I think you know I told them after the the win at Widener that you know kind of if everything ended today I'm just I'm so proud to you know be a part of this program and to coach this group and and for what they've done and you know I think honestly it it kind of starts and ends with our senior class they never you know lost focus they never took a step back and in fact you know I think over these last eight games they've just stepped up and led and you know not to take anything away obviously from our of the other classes the freshman sophomores and juniors because they certainly have contributed but you know I think each and every one of these seniors has stepped up and in their own way and and let us on the field let us off the field and kept this group together and they're like you said their resiliency their persistence their perseverance it's been kind of an amazing thing for me to even witness. You talk about your seniors you have a senior heavy back line you know we could talk about the goal scoring. Brie Christie has has come on and during this stretch but that back line Riley Patterson's played every single minute this season. Delina Watalski has also played you know a handful of complete games and then the addition to Kelsey Kropsky and then junior Allison Arter. So they played every single minute in that that one nothing whiner whiner win and then you also have Keegan back there. That back line a six shutouts during the stretch how important have they been to you and how important will they be moving forward. I mean they couldn't be more important as as leaders as personalities on the team and then certainly their their play like you said Riley's not come out of the game. This season she's been just the anchor she's so consistent. Just improved remarkably from from year to year and is having just a tremendous senior year which I'm so happy to see and Delina bottle back from you know a knee surgery and we weren't even sure she was going to be able to play this season and she just brings you know everything every single game and has been rock solid and Kelsey Kropsky converted forward that we kind of threw back there in the spring and and in her trip to Europe and she's been outstanding and Allison Arter's also I mean Allison has been a target for us I think this season she's been a wing she's been a center back she's been an outside back such a utility player and and just you know really strong player and they're really organized and they're playing really well and have put some really good games together so now you're coming off this emotional high of we clinched we're in you still have two games left two not so easy games you play top-ranked Messiah tonight and then you know I'll rest at Arcadia on Saturday what's the mentality going into these games you know our mentality is you know we kind of have nothing to lose and we've been playing pretty loose I think that the team's really been having a lot of fun and it's been a season a little bit where less is more and the more we've kind of let go the better we've been playing so I think we just look at it as an opportunity to go in and play two great teams two nationally ranked teams and just go out and look to upset them see what happens kind of pressures off and that you know we have things locked down we certainly want to be in the top three if we can but it's kind of it's a great situation to be in a little bit pressure-free and just able to go out and play our best and kind of see what we can do well coach which is the best a lock in these final two games and into the playoffs thank you for head coach Toddy Corba I'm Sam Murray and this has been the Toddy Corba show
