 Third game of this green turtle class that goes to our IT 1110 with creating coach Steve Colford You guys are gonna leave here oh and two When you look back at these two games You're gonna see so much that your team did well here Yeah, how do you convince them that this oh and two result kind of flukish and and continue on to make sure that this Weekend doesn't beat you going forward again. Yeah, well, you know, I think we come here for all those reasons You know, I mean because the competition is so tough The mental and physical challenge of playing and within less than 24 hours against ranked teams You have to make Adjustments on the fly you have to make personnel changes on the fly I mean we were literally did a walk-through in the conference room at the Mount Washington in this morning and put two new offensive plays in We moved tables and chairs. We used you know, I mean that that's what you do And you know so our effort both nights. I thought was great last night We just didn't get enough shots and Stevenson's defense played really well over the second third and fourth quarter and tonight We didn't finish the game, you know, and they had an experienced Lethal group when given the ball and we knew that and we had to play a different style against them We had to really limit our transition and really hold on to the ball if they have it They're really good at scoring and we saw that I mean, I've never seen them They I think they outshot us 18 to 3 in the fourth quarter, right and that's that's crazy We just couldn't get that ground ball. I had to use a time out on D We were just gassed, you know, and so you you know you keep trying to just pull levers and see until you pull the right one and tonight, unfortunately We didn't and credit goes to our IT and their staff they they they won a game talk about Tyler for a minute I mean he did everything he possibly could 16 saves In this game and as you mentioned when you're playing an offensive team like that We're all six guys on the field at any time from anywhere are so good just talk about his effort and what he gave you Yeah, I mean they're they put a lot of pressure on you. I mean they stress you because they're great in the two-man game You know that they have that Canadian influence. They have great sticks, you know And so you need to go who's gonna make saves and then they 10 man ride you So you're not out until you can't relax when he makes a save. We got it clear I told our deal all night. You can't relax until the ball is in our offensive box You know and and that's the stress that they put on you, but that's what good teams do That's what championship level teams do like RIT We have to learn from that and we have to get to that level you have to play these guys You got to compete against these guys and that ultimately will be the thing that we believe the recipe to get us to that level and sustain it You guys have done a lot of good things so far on this year And as you sit here at five and two just thoughts on where you all are right now Sitting at five and two and obviously losses here the last two games to really good clubs But where are you right? I think we're okay just because you know you look at it for you know 41 freshmen 55 freshmen 33 freshmen 17 freshmen Tyler Morel sophomore, you know I mean we could go down the list of freshmen sophomores who made contributions in our seven games If not starters coming off the bench, so we knew we were gonna be a little bit younger We're a little bit more veteran on the back line of our defense Which is obviously good, but we're young and these kids are gonna learn from that if we're playing good lacrosse in April May then we look back on this weekend and say it was well worth it I said to our guys Thursday and Friday listen, you know Whatever happens this weekend. We're gonna be a better team and a better program come Sunday regardless now What I'd like to be to know sure one-on-one I could sleep with oh and to you know I got a lot of work to do and we got some work to do but we understand that this is a marathon It's not a sprint and you know, I still think we're in good shape You know, we got to go home have a good week of practice get on the bus and go and play courtland state And you know, that's a good squad and coach bella will have them ready and but that's the grind You know and that's what our guys are gonna have to be prepared to face if they want to get to that next level I appreciate the time best luck the rest of the year appreciate it Steve Cole for joining us here is Cabrini Falls heartbreaking fashion 1110 it over time to RIT at the green turtle classic
