 Glen Clark with head coach Kathy Rayleigh coach obviously a tale of two halves tonight with a young team how much do you take the good of the first half and then how do you measure it against obviously what was not as good after halftime well you get you got to take the lessons of each part of the game played into the loss today in the second half first half we were winning the draws first half we were pretty darn close to 100% in our clears we executed the game plan very very well offensively we were taking high percentage shots and they were going in we knew what we needed to do to win this game and then we didn't do those things in the second half so you know maybe I should have called a timeout a little bit earlier we made some decisions today that that we weren't controlling the clock we were not good at the draw at all in the second half and you know we just got to be hungrier we got to be more physical we've got to be a little tougher out there so what we'll take away is we're gonna learn if we're not tough naturally we're gonna learn to be tough and that's gonna be on me and how we practice and what we do we're gonna have to throw a whole lot more toughness drills in there and 50-50 ball stuff in there you know it's so funny you bring that up because we were actually they came out you know St. Lawrence it very physical in the first half and you guys handle it really well what was it just you know not try to take a shot was it just maturity was it just players that hadn't been in that spot before I think the pressure of you know when you could feel it when that second or third goal went in for St. Lawrence that we started to be scared and we started to four shots this team doesn't know how to control the clock yet they're so young we talked about it and we talked about like let's hey let's wait for the layup and then we'd run down and shoot it or run down and turn it over and you know it's it's hard as a coach you want to foster that excitement you want to foster that creativity in young players you want them to always believe they can do it so it's so hard to be mad when they go for things at this age because they need to know but we do talk at about controlling the clock we just didn't really listen to that and I can't be mad at that I am upset about the the hustle on the draw I am upset about the letting them push us around first to the ball boxing us out on the outside of the circle not boxing out the girl that's taking the draw those things are toughness things those things I'm angry about but I will never be angry at that going for creativity and wanting to be the game winner and want give me the ball I'll shoot it those are all things I want to see this team carry on I want to see a few more people like that let's talk about some positives tonight last time you guys played under the lights it was a tough night for Sophie she I thought was much much better tonight and made some really big saves for you she played great tonight she the only things that went in were things that we either clipped and the shot took a change of direction or one V goal is and one V goalie so so if we had pressure on and we were forcing out she was making the save she made some really great stunning saves in particular one at the end that she made a that that foot save that was so good yeah she was great tonight I agree and then that's a good team that you played against tonight right another team that went to the tournament a year ago that has good players back in the end you'd play against a good team it was a one-goal game in overtime as you are trying to get to where you want to be can there be a ten thousand foot view that there is a positive there absolutely this is a wonderful group they play hard all the time they practice hard they're good to each other they want to be good I'm gonna keep pushing them a little bit because I really think there was more I think we could have gotten more out of the group today this was a this was truly just a confidence loss this was not a talent loss this was not a skill loss this was not an IQ loss this was a confidence loss back at it on the road on Saturday coach always appreciate it and we will see you next weekend and hopefully it won't be another one of it this is this we got this out of the system they get better and better every game and anybody who's watched us from the start to now can absolutely tell you this team gets better every single game you want to bring up Isabella Cara first oh I want to bring up I want to bring up Kara first because she's the season one and we'll put the pressure on Isabella thank you coach appreciate it good to see it's Kathy Rayleigh let's bring in Kerry Aruso who is with us Kara last game I was here Caitlyn Kizlowski was here with me and I made the comparison I said boy if you can slide in just a little bit closer yeah I said boy Kara reminds me a lot of someone sitting right next to me in the way that she kind of does everything can you tell me about being around Caitlyn and watch the way she played and maybe how it impacted you in all of the many things that you do in the game yeah I think like all together like cause you know we play every side of the game so you make a mistake on the defensive end you're gonna make up for it on the offensive end and I think the causes like taught me don't let those little mistakes get to you because at the end of the game it's also a mind game so if you made that mistake turn it into a positive it certainly paid off Kara obviously this was not an easy night it's a tough thing to go through what is as a leader on this team what is your message to everybody about how you pick yourself up and move on after a tough loss I think we talked a lot about it in the locker room but we played a top 20 team and we stuck with them we made it to overtime so it just shows that we are good enough to play with these top teams and so like people shouldn't be down on themselves we all made it to as far as we have so I think just pushing the pedal and on to the next game the trip to Arizona what did it do for you guys not not just winning some games on the field but the opportunity you've been on a few of these spring break trips now the value of bonding and being around other players and spending time with them how much of that trip help I think it helped a lot this year you know it's a young team so getting to know everybody is a little hard you know you're not seeing them all day every day so I think that Arizona was really helpful in that aspect and also winning never hurts that was definitely very fun trip so I think that bring that back with us we built some confidence while we were there now we've been trying to get to know everybody a little bit better this season so I need to know from you what are three songs that would be on like your pump up playlist to get ready for a game up the jam shout out Jen every time we touch I don't know about the third one I think I might just have to stick with I can't think of it off my head those are pretty good ones that definitely get you pumped up care who can we say hello to who need to give a shout out to my family care I know it's tough to come up after a tough loss but appreciate you love watching you play thanks for taking a couple of minutes thank you let's carry your roots so now we bring in Isabel van emberg to wrap us up tonight Isabel again I somebody who does a lot of things right tell me about where your game came from who shaped you who molded you who got you to this place I definitely think causing Kara watching them last year just run the midfield and do so well at it I think they really helped me improve my game and I was able to play the way I am now because of Kara and cause it's big as big to have those players to look to I was asking Kara about the trip to Arizona tell me for you like what did it do for this team again I know it didn't get the result ultimately tonight but you played really well against a good team how much on the field off the field how much did it benefit this team as a whole I think it benefited us so much because just like being in the hotel together and rooming with your teammates it just really helped us bond on a personal level and not just a lacrosse level and I really think we've stepped up from that point and just grown as a group what is the difference right now right like you guys had really great moments and stretches tonight the first half was spectacular obviously what's the difference what still has to change in order for you to get to the place you want to be in and win the league this year I think we have to take it quarter by quarter and really start over from scratch if a quarter doesn't work our way I think that all of us just need to go out there and just they're gonna score on us it's gonna happen we just have to take it and just move on from it keep going it's an important lesson all right so I'm gonna give you the same question what's on your pump-up playlist give me three songs I don't have three but definitely my goal song Windows down by big-time rush that's that's all school all the lights yeah I don't know third we'll keep with those two I'm gonna give you instead I'm gonna give you this one I need you because we've been struggling with this this year we need to know like I know that Hannah Ash goes by hash I need to know if there's another nickname like I need to know if there's a nickname that's out there for like Kara that we should know about that we can reference or somebody else you got to let us know somebody else's nickname Kelly and Kosha we call her car sometimes okay just a a couple letters I'm in for it Isabel I know it's tough I know you guys wanted this one really badly but I appreciate we love watching you play and appreciate you coming up and hanging out with us thank you all right that's Isabel van emberg I'm Glenn Clark this has been
