A cadet's from St Thomas earlier in the 26 00:05:12,98 --> 00:05:17,67 week on Wednesday he won the majority of the faceoffs would tell you he's pretty 27 00:05:17,68 --> 00:05:21,17 decent so we'll see what he's got and you know we'll see how our guys respond right 28 00:05:21,74 --> 00:05:23,83 we've talked a lot about if you can't win 29 00:05:23,84 --> 00:05:29,60 a clean get in there block get position slow down let my zinger let Gallus let 30 00:05:29,61 --> 00:05:36,52 Stone get in there and get the ball. Vantage blue on that face 31 00:05:36,53 --> 00:05:37,44 soft but a little bit of 32 00:05:37,45 --> 00:05:41,40 a hold busy in possession Spartans as they get their touch and they move in ball on 33 00:05:41,41 --> 00:05:42,05 the ground this is 34 00:05:42,06 --> 00:05:46,53 a turf field and it's got to the ground balls should really be crisp and effective 35 00:05:46,57 --> 00:05:50,37 Yeah and we shouldn't see as much slipping and sliding and falling as we've have 36 00:05:51,09 --> 00:05:55,56 the last 2 games this week um you know bowl of Apple Valley Stadium and Wildcat 37 00:05:55,57 --> 00:05:59,36 stadium probably not in the best playing condition yet and then we had that rain 38 00:05:59,37 --> 00:06:01,49 earlier in the day on Tuesday which muck things up 39 00:06:01,63 --> 00:06:07,32 a little bit too but it's dry it's warm dry it's not warm it's decent dry turf we 40 00:06:07,33 --> 00:06:10,31 should not have the slippage tonight or the poor field conditions that we 41 00:06:10,32 --> 00:06:15,15 experienced and the ball down over on the sideline Spartans to recover 42 00:06:15,16 --> 00:06:20,20 a little harassment by thrall Coty rater got involved in that one miscue by the 43 00:06:20,92 --> 00:06:22,31 Spartan and it's going to be 44 00:06:22,54 --> 00:06:28,97 a turnover unforced affectively in Eagan ball you know again this is the 1st 45 45 00:06:28,98 --> 00:06:33,58 seconds of the game but I saw some dropped balls America passes 46 00:06:33,62 --> 00:06:39,73 a basic fundamental mess apps on similes part and I wonder if that's you know in 47 00:06:39,74 --> 00:06:43,00 the St Thomas game you know if they can win the majority the face offs and still 48 00:06:43,01 --> 00:06:46,86 lose by $1011.00 goals I can understand how that would happen or you can win 49 00:06:46,87 --> 00:06:50,80 a face off like somebody did and then effectively an unforced turnover and right 50 00:06:50,85 --> 00:06:54,56 now the ball's in Egan's hands and you know we've gotten some intel that they're 51 00:06:54,57 --> 00:07:00,03 goaltenders effective and the question is is looking at their schedule it's 52 00:07:00,17 --> 00:07:05,51 unlikely that they've faced the multiplicity of firepower that the Eagan Wildcats 53 00:07:05,52 --> 00:07:08,32 bring to those shots takes a quick peek at quick shot and 54 00:07:08,33 --> 00:07:13,99 a goal quick one nothing lead Yeah you know St Thomas has some formidable players 55 00:07:14,14 --> 00:07:17,51 Luke Williams would be one of the top attackman in the in the metro area in the 56 00:07:17,52 --> 00:07:19,65 state this year but Eakins got 57 00:07:19,66 --> 00:07:23,58 a wave of people who are you know we've talked throughout the 1st half of the 58 00:07:23,59 --> 00:07:28,26 season about can we get other scores were seen some other people in addition to the 59 00:07:28,27 --> 00:07:29,54 Big 3 establish themselves 60 00:07:29,55 --> 00:07:34,31 a scoring threats and. That one of the challenges for some and if you shut down. 61 00:07:35,23 --> 00:07:40,39 SCHULTZ If you shut down Wilson you've got to deal with the other 4 percent were 62 00:07:40,40 --> 00:07:42,78 deep in that area and if you get them out of the rhythm you've got 63 00:07:42,79 --> 00:07:47,90 a couple Much more coming so you know how do they match up against kind of the 64 00:07:47,94 --> 00:07:51,31 firepower that you can win so that's how we can you know that that you know what it 65 00:07:51,32 --> 00:07:51,57 wasn't 66 00:07:51,58 --> 00:07:56,95 a clean when but we have possession and we held up their face off guy in your got 67 00:07:56,96 --> 00:07:58,03 in there and you know 68 00:07:58,04 --> 00:08:03,52 a lot of speed from Eisenhower picks up the ground balls really cleanly. Of 69 00:08:03,53 --> 00:08:10,04 unforced error but so 1013 remaining quarter 11 not that he can both faceoffs 70 00:08:10,34 --> 00:08:15,52 very similar ball on the ground 2 guys trying to clamp kind of circling and 71 00:08:15,53 --> 00:08:20,42 fighting for it maybe we are turning the corner with regard to kind of some of that 72 00:08:20,43 --> 00:08:26,96 fundamental faceoff decorum and we've got. Schultz picking up 73 00:08:26,97 --> 00:08:32,63 a loose ball and kind of March and looking back and finds Oh just out of reach of 74 00:08:32,64 --> 00:08:38,30 number 2 Rank Colbert Spartans will take over so what started out though was number 75 00:08:38,31 --> 00:08:44,53 8 for the Spartans he was running on field just drop the ball but there was 76 00:08:44,54 --> 00:08:45,97 a little pressure on him but certainly not 77 00:08:45,98 --> 00:08:50,64 a stick check if I could just drop the ball. On 1st turn over one of the things I 78 00:08:50,85 --> 00:08:54,19 put as the Spartans keep the game as limit turnovers absolutely don't just freely 79 00:08:54,20 --> 00:08:59,10 give the ball away and that's happened twice now early in the game once in 80 00:08:59,11 --> 00:09:03,08 a zone and then once around the midfield area little pick by don't leave little 81 00:09:03,09 --> 00:09:04,34 shovel past of my Z. 82 00:09:04,35 --> 00:09:08,68 Or who has been known to get the ball cookies got guys who decides to take 83 00:09:08,69 --> 00:09:10,69 a shot and I save and it's 84 00:09:10,70 --> 00:09:17,28 a good stop. And through Sandra's clearing pass but 85 00:09:17,29 --> 00:09:20,86 connected Andrus Iverson is the goalie 86 00:09:20,87 --> 00:09:27,69 a senior for the for the Spartans. So again it's the Spartans assembly are 87 00:09:27,73 --> 00:09:32,41 setting up here can they make some passes Can they connect and run their office 88 00:09:32,42 --> 00:09:36,25 without you know some of unforced errors that we've seen early in the game so far 89 00:09:36,26 --> 00:09:40,38 32 or 3 pretty big ones Yeah I think like you said to that is really 90 00:09:40,39 --> 00:09:44,06 a key to the game for the Spartans does it mean it's one thing to kind of you know 91 00:09:44,07 --> 00:09:50,93 shut down some aspect of the Eagan Wildcat game you cannot shoot 92 00:09:50,94 --> 00:09:53,44 yourself in the foot big shot Little Y. 93 00:09:53,45 --> 00:09:58,85 That one too many steal the see your goaltenders left looks like it's going to 94 00:09:58,92 --> 00:10:03,25 retain possession by the Spartans Yeah nice nice way to get in the way that 95 00:10:03,26 --> 00:10:07,20 a steal saw it all the way in position directs the ball wide. 96 00:10:13,47 --> 00:10:16,82 In front of the net no harm done well it looks like they're just going to still 97 00:10:16,83 --> 00:10:17,08 give it 98 00:10:17,09 --> 00:10:24,61 a nice effort but they are going to Spartans will retain possession again. Being 99 00:10:24,62 --> 00:10:25,90 called back to the end line 100 00:10:26,45 --> 00:10:31,08 a little ahead of myself there one of the differences for those of you that have 101 00:10:31,09 --> 00:10:31,57 been viewing 102 00:10:31,58 --> 00:10:35,69 a lot of our games if you can drop back to the eastern edge gamer to Tuesday night 103 00:10:36,62 --> 00:10:38,88 when the simply attacks of midfielders try to make 104 00:10:38,89 --> 00:10:42,37 a move to get out in front of the net the difference in the speed it's night and 105 00:10:42,38 --> 00:10:47,27 day you can defend or simply have to just get their feet down and be there those 106 00:10:47,81 --> 00:10:51,50 those more skilled attack men midfielders were able to get around them and create 107 00:10:51,51 --> 00:10:53,68 generate some more problems just there's 108 00:10:53,69 --> 00:10:57,70 a simple difference in speed number one something I notice in right away and you 109 00:10:57,71 --> 00:11:01,54 might be noticing at home and the unforced errors from from 110 00:11:01,63 --> 00:11:02,52 a better team you're going to see 111 00:11:02,53 --> 00:11:07,46 a little bit less of that 8 minutes remaining quarter $11.00 nothing cats Spartans 112 00:11:07,47 --> 00:11:13,74 with the ball they seem patient. 113 00:11:14,78 --> 00:11:19,71 And again to along with that patience kind of emphasizes the need to not miscue 114 00:11:19,75 --> 00:11:23,69 because there's you know more passes that they're trying to make connect and 115 00:11:23,92 --> 00:11:30,09 they're going to probably why I'm taking the shot here pretty shortly what I.

Still getting 241 00:20:06,14 --> 00:20:11,47 a good look at the shooting lane the no real threat as of yet no if that was my go 242 00:20:11,48 --> 00:20:16,52 to flag down back your cats have the ball clearly against the Spartans the that was 243 00:20:16,53 --> 00:20:18,34 my next comment that last shot while 244 00:20:18,49 --> 00:20:21,63 a pretty good shot fairly unobstructed in that kind of 245 00:20:21,64 --> 00:20:28,42 a routine save by steel so that worked out real well Max can't see the 246 00:20:28,43 --> 00:20:32,99 number which So you can't beat to flee as many as you want to make and yeah we saw 247 00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:39,03 the look another big save on else spall star was all shell takes up the rebound in 248 00:20:39,48 --> 00:20:45,87 your absence crease. I think yeah they are well I think it was the ref that we've 249 00:20:45,88 --> 00:20:50,58 seen on your side was about ready to raise his hands he was waved off by the 250 00:20:50,59 --> 00:20:54,75 gentleman on the far side and recall crease violation and you know pretty 251 00:20:54,76 --> 00:20:58,11 subjective you know it's there's 252 00:20:58,33 --> 00:21:01,33 a lot of stuff going on top Yeah yeah there's certainly 253 00:21:01,34 --> 00:21:07,17 a lot to look for and you know he he he made the call he did he we'll see if we can 254 00:21:07,18 --> 00:21:11,39 change it we just reported Yeah right 44 seconds free meaning quarter 12 nothing 255 00:21:11,40 --> 00:21:18,35 cats and again 2 while I think quarter one advantage even I do think that there and 256 00:21:18,36 --> 00:21:24,68 we talked about it earlier. This this kind of tight score does it does wonders for 257 00:21:24,69 --> 00:21:28,04 the Spartans and how they view their efforts to quarter one yeah they're certainly 258 00:21:28,05 --> 00:21:33,49 going to it gets going to keep their confidence up I. You know again I feel like 259 00:21:33,53 --> 00:21:34,77 Egan's going to get to 260 00:21:34,78 --> 00:21:36,64 a point here and you mentioned it earlier where they're going to get 261 00:21:36,65 --> 00:21:42,22 a couple 234 quick ones and kind of put some distance between themselves and 262 00:21:43,03 --> 00:21:48,92 there's about an ellipse. With us from Scholtz from the top. 263 00:21:50,02 --> 00:21:53,38 We've taken a few shots from the top at the same time we've worked the ball inside 264 00:21:53,39 --> 00:21:54,85 a number of times so we're not 265 00:21:54,86 --> 00:22:00,94 a one trick pony by any means at 3 nothing 17 seconds remaining quarter one but not 266 00:22:00,95 --> 00:22:03,60 like we've talked about are ready once a scab comes off 267 00:22:04,37 --> 00:22:09,12 a few could find the back of the net in a hurry Yeah and. Again we've we've got 268 00:22:09,13 --> 00:22:14,20 a. Severance made some stops right some big stops I think to really get things 269 00:22:14,21 --> 00:22:20,34 going quick passes quick passes from behind the net. Crossfield right quick catch 270 00:22:20,35 --> 00:22:24,87 a movie and get some quick shots I think that might be our best bet right to really 271 00:22:24,88 --> 00:22:26,43 get some real and get 272 00:22:26,44 --> 00:22:29,30 a nice one there from outside but I think that's going to be the way to get the 273 00:22:29,31 --> 00:22:33,64 goalie move and get him on his toes catch the defense out of position and create 274 00:22:34,06 --> 00:22:36,01 new not just trying to only to get 275 00:22:36,06 --> 00:22:40,75 a stick on the turf and is kicked out ball out of traffic he finds Wilson who as 276 00:22:40,76 --> 00:22:43,84 time ticks off stall was shot that's or good at ASCO that's 277 00:22:43,85 --> 00:22:45,66 a goal that was clearly 278 00:22:45,67 --> 00:22:50,69 a goal and it was very very close but I think the rough one of that goal from 279 00:22:50,70 --> 00:22:55,29 Scholtz with the crease violation to go so he clearly had an eye on the clock and 280 00:22:55,30 --> 00:23:00,61 made sure that he was well aware of the entire situation so we go for nothing 281 00:23:00,85 --> 00:23:07,11 Wildcats after one inverter all heights. Jack Stone 282 00:23:07,88 --> 00:23:11,94 with that 4th goal SOL So Scott real quickly quarter one. 283 00:23:14,48 --> 00:23:17,86 OK you know the faceoffs we've mitigated them 284 00:23:17,87 --> 00:23:24,10 a little bit it's not as bad we've been able to slow down there some force some on 285 00:23:24,11 --> 00:23:29,32 force errors by simply no real threats in our and good ball movement since made 286 00:23:29,33 --> 00:23:32,98 some big saves this one could be 8 to nothing if it wasn't for some of 8 or 9 and 287 00:23:32,99 --> 00:23:35,80 often if it wasn't for some of those big saves he's made in front of the NOT 288 00:23:35,81 --> 00:23:42,08 a couple of big scores so. You know let's see where we go from here but no real 289 00:23:42,09 --> 00:23:46,82 surprises yet for goals good quarter right right and I think that that difference 290 00:23:46,83 --> 00:23:50,38 so for nothing is right in the sweet spot of soon we kept 291 00:23:50,39 --> 00:23:55,41 a close or even asserting to exert its will Yeah I think that I think that oil coal 292 00:23:55,42 --> 00:23:58,43 and as time expires might yeah but oddly enough in 293 00:23:58,44 --> 00:24:00,81 a scheme of that might be the thing that's like oh there's a difference 294 00:24:00,82 --> 00:24:04,10 a big difference psychologically between 3 nothing and 4 and I would agree at the 295 00:24:04,11 --> 00:24:05,11 end the quarter we talked 296 00:24:05,12 --> 00:24:09,35 a lot about 5 goal he'd stop being safe but this again feels just 297 00:24:09,36 --> 00:24:11,82 a little different again like at the end of the 1st quarter last night it was 298 00:24:11,83 --> 00:24:16,35 $61.00 it was like yeah that this is OK I get so sick I will get 299 00:24:16,36 --> 00:24:21,76 a new future tonight and down the stretch it is our seniors spotlight Yeah this is 300 00:24:21,77 --> 00:24:26,22 something the broadcast teams in previous years have done and we wanted to continue 301 00:24:26,23 --> 00:24:32,26 that tradition to kind of honor our seniors we have 7 seniors on the squad we have 302 00:24:32,27 --> 00:24:36,93 7 games remaining that we are able to broadcast so we're going to start tonight 303 00:24:37,43 --> 00:24:43,30 with Tommy for Shay he is injured and not able to play for the season but he has 304 00:24:43,31 --> 00:24:46,81 chosen to remain with the team stay engaged be 305 00:24:46,97 --> 00:24:50,53 a full fledged member of the team doing what he can whether it's warming the goalie 306 00:24:50,54 --> 00:24:54,88 up helping the team being a moral support. Taking on 307 00:24:54,89 --> 00:24:58,17 a leadership role even though he is unable to get out in the field so we want to 308 00:24:58,18 --> 00:25:00,46 start with him we think that's just 309 00:25:00,47 --> 00:25:03,29 a real special thing that that young man has done and he wants to make 310 00:25:03,30 --> 00:25:06,71 a contribution to the program it is Senior year even though he can't go out on the 311 00:25:06,72 --> 00:25:08,53 field to do things so Tom Tom was 312 00:25:08,54 --> 00:25:14,57 a middy this would have been his 3rd year on the varsity squad.

They don't have really put 361 00:28:34,68 --> 00:28:38,01 a real threat together they're able to pass the ball around quite 362 00:28:38,02 --> 00:28:39,79 a bit as their mood it will close here with 363 00:28:39,80 --> 00:28:44,78 a shot the score as we just say how the perimeter game has been holding up nicely. 364 00:28:46,38 --> 00:28:50,32 It was just Johnson senior midfielder nifty little move there got off 365 00:28:50,33 --> 00:28:53,76 a good quick shot so it gives of the Spartans 366 00:28:53,77 --> 00:28:59,38 a little life right gets that brings that back to the 3 goal deficit which helps 367 00:28:59,39 --> 00:29:02,60 right that's their 1st 1st that was their 1st really good looking scoring 368 00:29:02,61 --> 00:29:07,12 opportunity of the game and they converted well and again to that's the 1st time 369 00:29:07,13 --> 00:29:11,93 that they've actually run that ball up so close to the post and used in that one 370 00:29:11,94 --> 00:29:16,44 step and you get a shot from that that close in the it's 371 00:29:16,45 --> 00:29:21,85 a high percentage shot actually the poll is oftentimes kind of contributing to 372 00:29:21,86 --> 00:29:27,69 a little bit of the screening thing got to be movement on the Spartans and the big 373 00:29:27,70 --> 00:29:32,39 blue will take over but yeah those are tough ones to defend so cats got to just 374 00:29:32,40 --> 00:29:33,17 kind of reset 375 00:29:33,44 --> 00:29:42,43 a little misstep on the Eagan Wildcats part so 376 00:29:42,44 --> 00:29:44,87 the Wildcats given the Spartans a little let them have 377 00:29:44,88 --> 00:29:50,46 a little life here. Let's see if we can force a turnover to be 378 00:29:50,47 --> 00:29:54,91 a time out. Simply would be like yeah we got the hour they were in 379 00:29:54,92 --> 00:29:57,50 a bit of trouble there and they were about to turn the ball over and what could 380 00:29:57,51 --> 00:30:00,12 have been a quick dangerous 2 on one or a potentially 381 00:30:00,13 --> 00:30:05,14 a 3 on one if you get picked up the ball Sky's continue to darken here in invertor 382 00:30:05,15 --> 00:30:08,33 over as the weather system that supposed to do 383 00:30:08,34 --> 00:30:13,66 a little something to the metropolitan area tonight is seemingly making its way and 384 00:30:13,67 --> 00:30:17,39 I can't tell for picking up any sprinkles I don't think so yeah it doesn't appear 385 00:30:17,40 --> 00:30:21,90 so we don't see any umbrellas out or and will be rolling out here in the home. So 386 00:30:21,91 --> 00:30:27,34 again 2 for Scott we we've had big 1st quarters in 387 00:30:27,35 --> 00:30:32,97 a couple of contests this year and then it's that 2nd quarter that we may look at 388 00:30:32,98 --> 00:30:37,33 the score and say OK you know we're serving some well on these on these folks yeah 389 00:30:37,34 --> 00:30:40,56 and then we can we get off the accelerator 390 00:30:40,57 --> 00:30:43,30 a little bit yeah it feels like we get off of our other mellowed out just 391 00:30:43,31 --> 00:30:47,11 a little bit and so it's almost like you kind of was one of those power outages 392 00:30:47,12 --> 00:30:52,33 that we had to eat in Wildcats Sam would take the scoreboard out so that the kids 393 00:30:52,34 --> 00:30:56,89 could just say hey let's just keep passing shooting and scoring you know not worry 394 00:30:56,90 --> 00:31:02,11 about the 4th and 5 enough the 6 enough and every goal you know is of itself you 395 00:31:02,12 --> 00:31:08,05 know on its own merit yet play our game player game whether it's 00550 in your 396 00:31:08,06 --> 00:31:11,92 points favor fives or in your favor play the game play your game execute the game 397 00:31:11,93 --> 00:31:17,74 plan and. Long clearing past economics us for you I Tommy my zingers been kind of 398 00:31:17,75 --> 00:31:22,67 a sniper this year a look at some stats he's he's really been all over 399 00:31:22,68 --> 00:31:27,75 a lot of the different defensive type statistical things of ground balls and forced 400 00:31:28,22 --> 00:31:32,02 turnovers and things like that another perfect opportunity there he does eyeball 401 00:31:32,03 --> 00:31:34,15 that jumped up and took it down yeah played 402 00:31:34,16 --> 00:31:37,95 a little free safety I think is what I think we call that right like that we have 403 00:31:37,99 --> 00:31:43,62 you know football can never be too far from our blocks from our very bitter So yeah 404 00:31:43,63 --> 00:31:47,87 just great anticipation of what happened stepped up and picked it off and got 405 00:31:47,88 --> 00:31:51,57 a possession for you can catch are going to maintain Schultz will get it started 406 00:31:51,58 --> 00:31:58,46 for us here over Wilson in the kind of take it back up time 407 00:31:59,77 --> 00:32:05,40 and we decided that that was for him or mayster or POV occurs in 14 politics 14 or 408 00:32:05,41 --> 00:32:09,62 vice or 10 we're probably going to be struggling with us I think you know 13 and 409 00:32:10,69 --> 00:32:13,48 you know hopefully they'll just change numbers next year then we have to worry 410 00:32:13,49 --> 00:32:17,76 about it but you could show how there has been some have been some great saves out 411 00:32:17,77 --> 00:32:24,39 of that Spartan goalie he's earning his keep tonight for sure yeah that's 412 00:32:24,43 --> 00:32:28,76 a boy I count 56 been so it's no doubt Colby Sorenson had 413 00:32:28,77 --> 00:32:33,56 a nice pick off opportunity as the Spartans were kind of pushing the issue that one 414 00:32:33,57 --> 00:32:40,18 might get out of bounds and it did turn over Big Blue will take the ball back looks 415 00:32:40,19 --> 00:32:43,57 like don't was going to dish it off to Sorenson I believe 416 00:32:48,75 --> 00:32:52,07 yeah but another opportunity that the ball is in and out of Sorenson's sticks so 417 00:32:52,08 --> 00:32:58,02 there are these long passes I don't. Feel vision isn't fantastic because misers 418 00:32:58,03 --> 00:33:01,04 sniped on Colby have Sorenson almost no 2 and just 419 00:33:01,05 --> 00:33:06,69 a few moments ago as well. You know so hold up full image of the radar here here 420 00:33:06,70 --> 00:33:11,81 a little maybe rain showers off to the west the question will be Holland does it 421 00:33:11,82 --> 00:33:12,90 take to arrive in 422 00:33:12,91 --> 00:33:19,21 a girl fights again does it is it an hour 2 hours away or 3 again it looks like 423 00:33:19,22 --> 00:33:23,78 just some ah garden variety rain which would stop the game from being played but it 424 00:33:23,79 --> 00:33:24,98 you know again we have done have 425 00:33:24,99 --> 00:33:28,67 a good gauge on how far away to sulfa we get this one and everybody stays dry and 426 00:33:28,68 --> 00:33:35,54 we're not weather man we're not no 643 remaining skies dark and slightly but like 427 00:33:35,55 --> 00:33:36,98 Scott said it probably will not have 428 00:33:36,99 --> 00:33:41,58 a great impact on the game being on turf being garden variety and the forecasts all 429 00:33:41,59 --> 00:33:45,59 did not talk plain the real ferocious No no no you know light obviously the thing 430 00:33:45,60 --> 00:33:52,09 that. There's a another perfect opportunity of 431 00:33:52,10 --> 00:33:57,83 a. We make our own opportunities and while again we may be personnel wise just 432 00:33:57,87 --> 00:33:59,04 a little bit in 433 00:33:59,05 --> 00:34:03,98 a different place than the Spartans you get used to anticipating against whoever 434 00:34:03,99 --> 00:34:08,94 that you're your opponent is and so there's another opportunity we're Wilson and I 435 00:34:08,95 --> 00:34:13,27 jumped ship on that one and it was awesome but Greengrass course the goalie did 436 00:34:13,28 --> 00:34:17,29 everything in his power to get back there but roll drop shoulder and goes over real 437 00:34:17,30 --> 00:34:24,25 clear shot 51 Eagan over the Spartans right now 623 remaining quarter 438 00:34:24,26 --> 00:34:29,31 number 2 and that's kind of demoralizing because the fact of the matter is that 439 00:34:29,50 --> 00:34:32,66 that really didn't have to at least get off and running the way you know it and you 440 00:34:32,67 --> 00:34:36,74 know by the defender even tried his best to tackle drill sudden been 441 00:34:36,75 --> 00:34:39,02 a good penalty yeah I would have but I was able to get through get 442 00:34:39,03 --> 00:34:43,75 a shot off and goalie in Cyprus and unfortunately it was wouldn't have stopped it 443 00:34:43,76 --> 00:34:50,28 right so. We got her 444 00:34:50,29 --> 00:34:57,10 Meister in the circle here again adding his name to the. Longer list of by 445 00:34:57,11 --> 00:35:02,13 committee faceoff guys and again we've we've clamped down and locked up pretty well 446 00:35:02,14 --> 00:35:06,43 it hasn't been real clean by either team the last couple have me big advantage 447 00:35:06,44 --> 00:35:10,48 Spartans and we'll see how this one goes you know what you're not seeing though is 448 00:35:11,01 --> 00:35:12,28 a clean when and 449 00:35:12,29 --> 00:35:18,66 a sprint down the middle of the field by the by the. Spartans face off and this is 450 00:35:18,67 --> 00:35:23,43 another perfect example what you can count to to yell for that ball gets all over 451 00:35:23,44 --> 00:35:26,99 that initial scrum everywhere we're right where we're at right now that's 452 00:35:27,00 --> 00:35:31,36 a win for us because we've got Gallus We've got Miles here we've got guys that can 453 00:35:31,37 --> 00:35:35,86 hustle in there and get that that scoop off the ground flag flag down. 454 00:35:39,34 --> 00:35:44,41 Be on simly 10 could have been a I thought I heard 455 00:35:44,42 --> 00:35:49,79 a few parents in the yell ward in the stands on that last little shoulder dip but 456 00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:55,97 play looks like it's going to stop here we're going to get the call to see the flag 457 00:35:56,11 --> 00:36:02,05 it was it's over on the far side of the field. But I don't see it as not 458 00:36:02,06 --> 00:36:05,55 a real sense of urgency although maybe Jerry used to seeing guys go to the other 459 00:36:05,56 --> 00:36:09,96 side of the field so now we've got oh yeah he gets number twos down that's Jacob 460 00:36:09,97 --> 00:36:16,89 Hagman the face off specialist 32nd 32nd hold on number 461 00:36:16,90 --> 00:36:23,73 2. To. Man up situation quick 30 seconds again work it around get 462 00:36:23,74 --> 00:36:29,08 a good clean shot take advantage of the situation yeah definitely I mean almost 463 00:36:29,12 --> 00:36:33,34 without regard to who you are you don't want to get the Wildcats into 464 00:36:33,35 --> 00:36:38,20 a man and situation we're used to moving the bar on in 30 seconds is plenty of time 465 00:36:39,13 --> 00:36:39,32 to get 466 00:36:39,33 --> 00:36:42,75 a lot of those high shots from the perimeter Yeah that is the goal he's doing 467 00:36:42,76 --> 00:36:46,66 a nice job he is the ideal he sees those and again I think we've got to get the 468 00:36:46,67 --> 00:36:48,73 ball moving laterally 469 00:36:48,74 --> 00:36:55,50 a little bit or vertically from behind the net if that makes sense he's getting he 470 00:36:55,51 --> 00:37:00,54 can see those right nicely done by reps on the push out we you know we got we've 471 00:37:00,55 --> 00:37:03,61 got some guys with hard shots but some of those you just see he's got 472 00:37:03,62 --> 00:37:07,87 a good line of sight to him and he's pretty skilled up he stock goes again you know 473 00:37:07,88 --> 00:37:13,94 some good saves there so I think that you know again the goalie has demonstrated 474 00:37:13,95 --> 00:37:17,64 that he's got good vision tonight and he is stopping those so that might be a 475 00:37:17,93 --> 00:37:20,94 a call to our push in a man up situation 476 00:37:20,95 --> 00:37:25,66 a call to try to make some space and get some passing done stone too and everything 477 00:37:25,67 --> 00:37:29,99 in his power to stay in biology and he might have this got the line there yeah he 478 00:37:30,00 --> 00:37:36,18 was I get pinballs around and he just told the line on that last little body check 479 00:37:36,27 --> 00:37:40,87 I don't believe it was a timeout or was it it was you know you get 480 00:37:40,88 --> 00:37:44,96 a time oh yeah right yeah it's a little little hard to see that it's 481 00:37:44,97 --> 00:37:46,54 a navy blue or a black It's 482 00:37:46,55 --> 00:37:50,56 a natural key to see that rely on that worn surface and what would be in the 483 00:37:50,60 --> 00:37:55,71 football team area. So 51 we're 484 00:37:55,72 --> 00:38:01,66 a little over halfway through the 2nd quarter. I think our shot selections you know 485 00:38:01,67 --> 00:38:03,51 maybe needs to shift 486 00:38:03,52 --> 00:38:08,99 a little more quicker ball movement through the fence of zoned to put similes 487 00:38:09,00 --> 00:38:12,67 goalie on his heels and get it moving around because if he sat get his stick up and 488 00:38:12,68 --> 00:38:14,69 he sees the lane he I'm probably going to start 489 00:38:14,70 --> 00:38:18,84 a good vision tonight and again if you're going back and forth or from the back 490 00:38:18,85 --> 00:38:23,90 behind him into the into the slot there is a lot tougher to get set up and make 491 00:38:23,91 --> 00:38:26,65 a good save but you know from the top he's done he's done 492 00:38:26,66 --> 00:38:31,48 a really nice job he's probably got. Between a half a dozen and 493 00:38:31,49 --> 00:38:37,79 a dozen saves really quality saves as the time out is over and the 494 00:38:37,96 --> 00:38:44,94 Wildcats will try to get started again so on and you know 495 00:38:44,98 --> 00:38:50,15 again well as we as we. We've been talking over the last couple days here as we get 496 00:38:50,16 --> 00:38:57,04 into the back half back 3rd of our schedule we'll see better attack 497 00:38:57,05 --> 00:39:03,71 and better faceoff better better. Midfielders defense we'll see some pretty good 498 00:39:03,72 --> 00:39:08,87 goalies here too coming up and this it's good that we get this opportunity to face 499 00:39:08,88 --> 00:39:13,22 a goalie who can stop shots right he can stop those shots that some other goalies 500 00:39:13,23 --> 00:39:17,59 might watch sail past and so a good good good not really good Sure good except 501 00:39:17,60 --> 00:39:23,55 a good preparation for what's to come.

Trip one minute tripping Pelling in summer 516 00:40:34,90 --> 00:40:41,84 9 cold Gibson 353 remaining 51 cats. I 517 00:40:42,15 --> 00:40:48,88 believe this is the 1st man down situation that you will find itself in again 518 00:40:48,89 --> 00:40:51,93 too with some of the unforced errors Scott it's it's 519 00:40:51,94 --> 00:40:57,24 a good possibility that we could get possession back and then kind of take our take 520 00:40:57,25 --> 00:41:01,45 some of the life out of this one minute penalty that we sure could you know Eakins 521 00:41:01,46 --> 00:41:06,20 man down has been really solid this year again we don't have the exact numbers in 522 00:41:06,21 --> 00:41:10,06 front of us but just going off for a collection it's not been 523 00:41:10,07 --> 00:41:13,68 a serious issue that are exactly where we were forced to turn over and picked up on 524 00:41:13,69 --> 00:41:17,67 great great great call there now here's where we you know this is where it has to 525 00:41:17,68 --> 00:41:18,91 kind of slow down this 526 00:41:18,92 --> 00:41:25,23 a little bit still get Mizer in the act and again. You know it isn't 527 00:41:25,24 --> 00:41:28,77 a 65 game we're right right right we're going to hold on to that ball 528 00:41:28,78 --> 00:41:32,37 a little longer we did turn it right back over with you know probably half the 529 00:41:32,38 --> 00:41:38,23 penalty remaining. Spartans marching at the touched defense the short defense 530 00:41:38,24 --> 00:41:43,09 trying to get sat but they did give it they kind of handed us one there Scott in 531 00:41:43,32 --> 00:41:45,18 the clean turn Oh yeah they did it was just 532 00:41:45,19 --> 00:41:49,63 a clean pack and. They're not there looks like we're going to get another one and 533 00:41:50,13 --> 00:41:54,55 my zingers going to get that picked up and most of the penalty is probably over but 534 00:41:54,56 --> 00:41:56,09 I think Colbert's going to slow it down 535 00:41:56,10 --> 00:42:03,09 a little bit. Got the ball picked from him well Malaki crunch 536 00:42:03,88 --> 00:42:07,70 and the ball out of bounds I don't know if they can rough the kick he was going to 537 00:42:07,71 --> 00:42:10,00 get all movement in there but the boy is going to give 538 00:42:10,01 --> 00:42:12,76 a little man hug road which is a creative way 539 00:42:13,25 --> 00:42:17,59 a double check maybe half so if he was is the macho crunch which And then the man 540 00:42:17,60 --> 00:42:22,38 hug and the ref did not need to go in there and and exert his Hey guys let's keep 541 00:42:22,39 --> 00:42:29,31 it clean because we clearly did all other another little 542 00:42:29,32 --> 00:42:29,51 bit of 543 00:42:29,52 --> 00:42:33,08 a drop there have been some problems hanging onto the ball push and probably be 544 00:42:33,09 --> 00:42:36,83 Spartan ball and that when there are penalties over. 545 00:42:40,93 --> 00:42:47,76 You get things kind of reset here briefly. So similes just kind of hanging 546 00:42:47,77 --> 00:42:54,43 around here we thought maybe we thought maybe you know it when he got that 4th call 547 00:42:54,44 --> 00:42:58,34 that might break things open a little bit and there's a flag that's going to be 548 00:42:58,35 --> 00:43:04,40 a slash tell us I believe you know about that I mean. I think you'd all be in is 549 00:43:04,41 --> 00:43:08,34 far away as we are going up there great play there by my eyes in your game I think 550 00:43:08,35 --> 00:43:12,34 you're all over the place tonight and I know other flags coming down Saul 551 00:43:12,92 --> 00:43:17,74 offsetting maybe I don't see what happened on the 2nd one I know you know I wonder 552 00:43:17,75 --> 00:43:21,50 if there was something some extracurriculars after the when the player was on the 553 00:43:21,51 --> 00:43:27,25 ground it looks like so that's the miser's walking my eyes are as common and 554 00:43:28,82 --> 00:43:32,65 is gallows Yeah yeah it's probably get the slash begin to if the referee probably 555 00:43:32,66 --> 00:43:33,48 sounded. 556 00:43:41,75 --> 00:43:42,99 OK We got a slash and 557 00:43:43,00 --> 00:43:48,58 a push and it's an LS party in the penalty area you know really is and it was 558 00:43:48,59 --> 00:43:53,66 a timeout probably by Sam Lee I don't think yeah somebody they're going to game 559 00:43:53,67 --> 00:43:57,22 plan this thing out a minute and a half you're 30 seconds of a of 560 00:43:57,23 --> 00:44:03,48 a 2 man advantage to 14 remaining 1st half 51 Eagan 561 00:44:04,27 --> 00:44:05,60 the Spartans will find themselves with 562 00:44:05,61 --> 00:44:11,35 a 2 man advantage for the next 30 seconds and then a one man advantage for 563 00:44:11,36 --> 00:44:18,23 a minute following that after the infractions so. Similarly. Is thinking hey 564 00:44:19,07 --> 00:44:20,03 if we can get 565 00:44:20,04 --> 00:44:25,29 a goal out of this and get out in the locker room down 3 at half time while the 566 00:44:25,40 --> 00:44:28,58 again low scoring slower pace of the game the game feels 567 00:44:28,59 --> 00:44:30,41 a little feels like it's grinding 568 00:44:30,42 --> 00:44:33,40 a little bit feels like kind of getting wall to sleep 569 00:44:33,41 --> 00:44:37,64 a slow quarter for the Wildcats So they see an opportunity to keep this game 570 00:44:37,65 --> 00:44:42,47 competitive and. The Wildcats you know and you have your 2 top al Samson in the 571 00:44:42,48 --> 00:44:45,84 penalty box those are you know those guys are on the field in your man down 572 00:44:45,85 --> 00:44:52,31 situations so you've got you know 2 of your. Top 2 Alice Sams on the side so be 573 00:44:52,32 --> 00:44:59,18 interested to see what lineup Eagan goes with here to manage this situation because 574 00:44:59,19 --> 00:45:06,08 it's you know what 24 Yeah 4 players Well clearly we need to you know for 575 00:45:06,12 --> 00:45:10,24 a for just about the balance of the 1st half here we're going to be at a in 576 00:45:10,25 --> 00:45:15,44 a man down situation 2 men down you know for the next 30 so it could be 577 00:45:15,45 --> 00:45:21,27 a golden opportunity for the Spartans to climb back in this at least 578 00:45:21,28 --> 00:45:25,40 a little bit so in this alignment for Poles on the field again you can have up to 4 579 00:45:25,41 --> 00:45:27,55 long poles on the field at a time and in 580 00:45:27,56 --> 00:45:34,47 a 6 like that Are you want want to play thralls 581 00:45:34,48 --> 00:45:37,92 good and that close we've commented on that throughout the year and that close 582 00:45:37,93 --> 00:45:42,52 contact one on one man on ball and man on ball situation that's where he excels and 583 00:45:42,53 --> 00:45:48,18 he's a big kid to us or you think voters India aggressive player you know 584 00:45:48,19 --> 00:45:52,55 a big turnover here for yeah. It's you know again this is 585 00:45:52,56 --> 00:45:57,48 a situation where I think the fact that the extra defender on the field is at this 586 00:45:57,49 --> 00:46:02,18 point is that heartens and we've got the 1st one back here so we got our storm's 587 00:46:02,19 --> 00:46:04,98 going to return to make us don't one 588 00:46:10,47 --> 00:46:12,99 yet.

Wrestling program here in this these parts so but at the moment 752 01:05:20,82 --> 01:05:25,84 Scott we're starting to create some space on the turf for the Wildcats and you know 753 01:05:25,85 --> 01:05:31,85 again too when you have an opportunity to out personnel someone at some point you 754 01:05:31,86 --> 01:05:36,27 have to take advantage of it and as every next goal kind of trickles in I think 755 01:05:36,28 --> 01:05:37,05 we're going to see 756 01:05:37,61 --> 01:05:42,47 a little little movement and the cats will take that free will take those faceoff 757 01:05:42,48 --> 01:05:48,15 wins I think you're going to see that the cats are going to gain some confidence in 758 01:05:48,16 --> 01:05:51,93 execution they're not going to fire shots from the perimeter I think that the emmel 759 01:05:52,10 --> 01:05:56,11 moving forward is going to be let's see what we can do and how can we make use of 760 01:05:56,12 --> 01:06:01,63 what we do tonight next week and the week after which as we know and we'll get to 761 01:06:01,64 --> 01:06:05,57 later in the broadcast are busy weeks for the while get very busy as we get down 762 01:06:05,58 --> 01:06:08,36 the stretch air of unforced error there may be 763 01:06:08,37 --> 01:06:11,56 a little minor miscue back to the goaltender for the Spartans who's had 764 01:06:11,57 --> 01:06:18,41 a fantastic night. The senior Sivert since I believe his last name yeah 765 01:06:18,42 --> 01:06:22,21 you're Severson he's had a great night big he's you know 766 01:06:22,22 --> 01:06:26,98 a 5th. You know although if it's 91 it might sound 767 01:06:26,99 --> 01:06:31,07 a little crazy here we're talking about the goalie on the short end of that 91 kind 768 01:06:31,08 --> 01:06:35,74 of being the driving force the game if if he wasn't playing up to the level he is 769 01:06:35,75 --> 01:06:40,10 playing at tonight it's 170 and you think 1617 when he's had 770 01:06:40,11 --> 01:06:45,70 a dozen quality shots stopped so good for him he's out of fantastic night 771 01:06:46,68 --> 01:06:53,44 Spartans being tamed possession here and are trying to set up so I think with the. 772 01:06:54,94 --> 01:06:58,31 8 goal lead it's getting probably to the point where it's going to be 773 01:06:58,32 --> 01:07:02,64 a true challenge for them to come back and I think what the Spartans work on is 774 01:07:02,65 --> 01:07:07,18 akin just focus on those fundamentals let's catch let's pass let's not drop the 775 01:07:07,19 --> 01:07:13,68 ball and see if we can make something happen from there and fix Billy to flee 776 01:07:14,02 --> 01:07:20,35 with the ball from stealing and you big kid probably 65.

The shot from 827 01:10:46,74 --> 01:10:49,84 the fire perimeter in an instance like that there is 828 01:10:49,85 --> 01:10:54,27 a lot of traffic between the goaltender and the man shooting it can create 829 01:10:54,28 --> 01:10:57,73 a lot of difficulty in picking that ball up so if you can rip 830 01:10:57,74 --> 01:11:01,38 a shot on on net Yeah you've It's 831 01:11:01,39 --> 01:11:05,99 a high percentage shot under under some circumstances clearly so yeah it especially 832 01:11:06,00 --> 01:11:08,68 in all the coaches talk about the top side shot right there's 833 01:11:08,69 --> 01:11:13,40 a certain angles on the field where there's high percentage shots where you know in 834 01:11:13,41 --> 01:11:16,12 some cases coaches had These are the spots I want you to shoot from and if you're 835 01:11:16,13 --> 01:11:20,19 not here you don't shoot that's one of those top side high percentage shots right 836 01:11:20,77 --> 01:11:24,43 even though you're 20 yards away but Stone had a had 837 01:11:24,44 --> 01:11:30,02 a shooting lane to us to get that through so we're $111.00 here we're creeping 838 01:11:30,03 --> 01:11:34,57 towards that running time situation here we have to get to 12 I believe. 839 01:11:36,25 --> 01:11:43,24 541 remaining in the 3rd right now so we have had some running time games 840 01:11:43,25 --> 01:11:49,99 recently. Stoppage of play I would assume time up by the Spartans 841 01:11:50,72 --> 01:11:57,28 maybe trying to regroup. And just say hey you know guys we stayed in it for an 842 01:11:57,29 --> 01:12:01,55 extended period of time I think everyone you know 843 01:12:01,56 --> 01:12:04,88 a lot of people may have been able to see the writing on the wall that if we're 844 01:12:04,89 --> 01:12:07,71 able to set up kind of do our thing there's 845 01:12:07,72 --> 01:12:14,01 a good chance that we were going to you know maybe go up by 78910 grazers soul and 846 01:12:14,02 --> 01:12:19,10 back in the face off circle and looks like that might be Robbie Otto. Who's going 847 01:12:19,11 --> 01:12:25,09 to get down on the ground here against number 2 for the Spartans and. 848 01:12:26,12 --> 01:12:32,93 Jacob Hagman and see how we fare so I think what's developing here is we talked. 849 01:12:33,04 --> 01:12:38,11 About that 7th call right before half time by Jack Stone It feels like it kind of 850 01:12:38,12 --> 01:12:42,53 broke things open it really broke the back of the Spartans and it's been all you 851 01:12:42,54 --> 01:12:45,20 can sense then that's just a tough blow go on and 852 01:12:45,21 --> 01:12:48,69 a half time right where you you think you have to under control and suddenly you 853 01:12:48,70 --> 01:12:53,21 don't. Momentum clearly isn't Favre there was 854 01:12:53,22 --> 01:12:57,30 a little burst of energy by the Spartans in the 2nd quarter but even looks to be 855 01:12:57,31 --> 01:13:00,85 fully in control of this game at this point with were approaching the 5 minute mark 856 01:13:00,86 --> 01:13:07,70 of the 3rd quarter miser kind of doubled back and. Wildcats 857 01:13:07,71 --> 01:13:07,89 had 858 01:13:07,90 --> 01:13:15,13 a little trouble getting the ball across the center line. Clearing 859 01:13:15,14 --> 01:13:20,29 passible Hi I think I had it when I seen Schultz get that high in the air Wow wide 860 01:13:20,30 --> 01:13:26,78 open Colbert kind of had his opportunity Ryan Colbert to kind of pick his shot 861 01:13:27,57 --> 01:13:30,80 from Schultz Yeah he did he got 862 01:13:30,81 --> 01:13:34,99 a little wide on the fence of right hand side and had some green grass or some 863 01:13:35,00 --> 01:13:38,61 green turf to work with and was able to get the goalie held throws get 864 01:13:38,62 --> 01:13:43,86 a quick shot there and then add another goal for the Wildcats over $121.00 Wildcats 865 01:13:44,03 --> 01:13:49,53 just under 5 minutes remaining period 3. You know the cats just need to keep doing 866 01:13:49,54 --> 01:13:53,37 what they're doing and again I think in the backs of the minds of the coaching 867 01:13:53,38 --> 01:13:58,06 staff down on the side of the sideline is you know how can we make this 868 01:13:58,07 --> 01:14:02,02 a productive opportunity and not just go out there and play with cross right to 869 01:14:02,03 --> 01:14:06,84 kind of take it looks and see how people are responding and again to at the halfway 870 01:14:06,85 --> 01:14:12,21 point of the season faceoff when Robbie Otto kind of a tertiary win but 871 01:14:12,22 --> 01:14:18,68 a win just the same. How do we respond to being you know one nothing 872 01:14:18,94 --> 01:14:24,18 61 and you know how do we handle larger leads in this team so trying to find its 873 01:14:24,19 --> 01:14:26,24 footing like a lot of them are yeah yeah we're 874 01:14:26,43 --> 01:14:29,40 a boy well we need to get to that in 875 01:14:29,41 --> 01:14:33,60 a couple 3 or 4 minutes before we got there tonight there's chaos going on all 876 01:14:33,61 --> 01:14:39,16 around the lacrosse world in Minnesota that shot that was was that Wilson and that 877 01:14:39,17 --> 01:14:44,27 was Wilson and not probably unassisted and a flag down we're going to have 878 01:14:45,00 --> 01:14:50,92 a Spartan. Oh wait 879 01:14:50,93 --> 01:14:57,16 a minute I made their way of the go our. Own away 5 OK who are white 5 slash I 880 01:14:57,17 --> 01:15:01,79 thought or what word it was unassisted I believe Drew Wilson on assisted I mean 881 01:15:01,83 --> 01:15:07,48 slash on number 5 for the Spartans and he'll take 882 01:15:07,49 --> 01:15:11,53 a breather this time tough in the poll of the senior poll for 883 01:15:11,63 --> 01:15:18,17 a simile so.

And I'm seeing some of the same thing with Sam Lee right in addition to 951 01:20:32,25 --> 01:20:35,58 some of the unforced errors they just look tired it's like you've been chasing this 952 01:20:35,59 --> 01:20:39,43 team around and you're trying you've got to worry about everybody on the field and 953 01:20:39,44 --> 01:20:42,40 it physically wears on you and it mentally wears on and what you're seeing now is 954 01:20:42,41 --> 01:20:43,95 just it's a physical and 955 01:20:43,96 --> 01:20:47,56 a mental collapse and we're going to go to running time and kind of the culmination 956 01:20:47,57 --> 01:20:49,79 of those stressors and again to like you said that's 957 01:20:49,80 --> 01:20:51,94 a valid point we're deep we have 958 01:20:51,95 --> 01:20:56,34 a lot to worry about sold it's one thing if you're a couple deep here 959 01:20:56,35 --> 01:21:01,80 a couple deep there the Wildcats have an answer for about every type of scheme that 960 01:21:01,81 --> 01:21:06,58 can be thrown its way you shut down Wilson you've got stone and company and you 961 01:21:06,59 --> 01:21:10,09 shut down stone and you've got to shoulder so that if this goes on and on and on 962 01:21:10,31 --> 01:21:15,04 and I think that level of depth will will all forward us the luxury of keeping 963 01:21:15,05 --> 01:21:20,12 games close we were very very evenly matched and again we're situations where the 964 01:21:20,13 --> 01:21:25,71 personal advantages Eagan we can finally get our foot you know firmly on the gas 965 01:21:25,89 --> 01:21:31,14 and kind of drive this big blue train home yeah we can and you know those we you 966 01:21:31,15 --> 01:21:38,10 know we can what. One of the things we can do here we got had some 967 01:21:38,11 --> 01:21:41,11 themes from early in the season. Is 968 01:21:41,12 --> 01:21:45,03 a good time to look back at what we talked about can we find consistent and 969 01:21:45,04 --> 01:21:48,39 reliable scoring that was something we talked about in our 1st telecast against 970 01:21:48,40 --> 01:21:54,78 Chanhassen And you know we were thinking hey we think we got 2 or 3 who are some of 971 01:21:54,79 --> 01:22:00,20 the other people that are going to fill in so. You know Wilson is not disappointed 972 01:22:00,21 --> 01:22:04,86 Schultes state assistant leader at least at the start of this game are tied with 973 01:22:04,87 --> 01:22:10,33 states this leader. Wilson number 5 or so in goal scored. 974 01:22:11,56 --> 01:22:15,93 Stone contributing a lot of goals and assess. And we said OK we need 975 01:22:15,94 --> 01:22:19,66 a 2nd 3 set of people that can be relied upon to and be 976 01:22:19,67 --> 01:22:25,05 a threat Tanner weps Ryan Colbert Cole Gibson have kind of emerged as that 2nd 977 01:22:25,06 --> 01:22:31,13 group of 3. Their play will be critical down the stretch and if there's another one 978 01:22:31,14 --> 01:22:34,36 or 2 out there that could do that that would make this team even more dangerous 979 01:22:34,66 --> 01:22:39,80 clearly and you know what because of some of the early games we played that were 980 01:22:39,81 --> 01:22:42,06 close and tight our defensive group got 981 01:22:42,07 --> 01:22:47,54 a lot of work and you know. Faceoffs was our number one concern I don't think we 982 01:22:47,55 --> 01:22:48,98 have that although things have looked 983 01:22:48,99 --> 01:22:54,24 a lot better tonight we don't have that resolved we haven't on the 1st telecast we 984 01:22:54,25 --> 01:22:58,34 lead off with somebody other than Jack Currington is going to be playing goalie I 985 01:22:58,35 --> 01:23:01,74 don't think we've once mentioned concern about the goalie play and that's 986 01:23:01,75 --> 01:23:03,30 a testament to Zach Wallach that's 987 01:23:03,31 --> 01:23:07,73 a testament to Manny Steele. At some point Coach falters got 988 01:23:07,74 --> 01:23:10,85 a hard decision to make if he's going to make it or maybe they're going to split 989 01:23:10,86 --> 01:23:14,48 and we don't know I'm glad I don't have to make that decision or say we just come 990 01:23:14,49 --> 01:23:16,72 up here and talk about the game we don't have to do the hard work it's 991 01:23:16,73 --> 01:23:20,71 a good problem to have Yeah I have 2 guys that you want to go with the hot hand but 992 01:23:20,72 --> 01:23:24,62 right now they're both see in the ball well they're able to spell each other and 993 01:23:24,63 --> 01:23:29,20 heaven forbid someone gets nicked up you don't be pushed the panic button you've 994 01:23:29,21 --> 01:23:32,86 got 2 guys that have got played well and they've gotten 995 01:23:33,02 --> 01:23:38,41 a real game time type experience and there's my 0 again with that long they might 996 01:23:38,42 --> 01:23:41,31 want to measure his stick because I tell you I guess 997 01:23:41,32 --> 01:23:46,96 a he gets it way way out and maybe he's got excessively long arms but he has had 998 01:23:46,97 --> 01:23:52,33 that head of that stick in some of the most undesirable places for the Spartans 999 01:23:52,34 --> 01:23:54,82 tonight as he's probably broken up a half 1000 01:23:54,83 --> 01:23:59,83 a dozen How easily maybe Mizen or construction side an extra couple inches on the 1001 01:23:59,84 --> 01:24:04,78 end of the shaft ends entirely Don't you know if we check the baskets of the stick 1002 01:24:04,79 --> 01:24:09,45 but we haven't measured that oh yeah whatever check that out you know I supplied 1003 01:24:09,46 --> 01:24:13,84 you for the for the miser construction people and they may be in the business of 1004 01:24:13,85 --> 01:24:18,00 making those sticks longer because it's clearly looking like that could be the case 1005 01:24:18,37 --> 01:24:25,34 with Tommy stick tonight so 151 Wildcats right up to 10 minute remaining mark 1006 01:24:25,64 --> 01:24:30,90 as it looked like is. Will or either took 1007 01:24:30,91 --> 01:24:34,83 a shot kind of got his own rebound and then kind of stumble behind the net there's 1008 01:24:34,84 --> 01:24:39,64 a scrum to the goaltenders right even comes up with it looks like that might be 1009 01:24:39,73 --> 01:24:45,89 Sorenson taking it back up top. We're running time whole he's 1010 01:24:46,83 --> 01:24:47,99 a nice I.X. 1011 01:24:48,11 --> 01:24:51,68 Stick I'll leave stick to the foot Let's hope Pete just has 1012 01:24:51,69 --> 01:24:56,17 a whack in the For Yeah it looks like he's going to kind of walk it off yeah it's. 1013 01:24:57,61 --> 01:25:00,59 Always a little concerning when you get a guy that kind of has to have 1014 01:25:00,60 --> 01:25:04,85 a hop and he's in a little pain let's hope it was just 1015 01:25:04,86 --> 01:25:09,92 a whack across the top of the foot and there's no broken bones it doesn't make it 1016 01:25:09,93 --> 01:25:13,75 feel any better right now but he'll probably shake it off but yeah it does hurt and 1017 01:25:13,76 --> 01:25:17,77 he's getting some support from his teammates down there as he might loosen the 1018 01:25:17,78 --> 01:25:20,85 laces up on that cleat take a look around he's 1019 01:25:20,86 --> 01:25:27,57 a Sorenson he's Toffy lock it off right I think that can be the case so cats go man 1020 01:25:27,58 --> 01:25:33,38 up and they'll probably wind up being pretty selective with their opportunity which 1021 01:25:33,39 --> 01:25:35,37 they call her give a good look and probably 1022 01:25:35,38 --> 01:25:39,35 a big save another big save you know he kicked it out to his right and he got 1023 01:25:39,36 --> 01:25:43,27 a pole that's going to gain the midfield line running up the ice who were driven 1024 01:25:43,28 --> 01:25:49,81 out by. Who's given him just fits over there he was able to clear it but again 1025 01:25:50,44 --> 01:25:52,97 just being harassed and I was not able to get 1026 01:25:52,98 --> 01:25:58,03 a good clearing pass and don't we all scoop it up and get us started here with 830 1027 01:25:58,34 --> 01:26:03,83 remaining quarter for 151 cats so Monday night Lakeville North. 1028 01:26:05,28 --> 01:26:10,45 Every match up is big now but this one you know I think the players the fans kind 1029 01:26:10,46 --> 01:26:15,68 of looking forward this I would fully expect that the Panthers from that was that 1030 01:26:15,69 --> 01:26:21,94 Wilson again. Through Wilson Oh yeah I don't know that we. I kind of step back 1031 01:26:21,95 --> 01:26:22,26 behind 1032 01:26:22,27 --> 01:26:27,31 a sightline obstruct or you know you bring up Lakeville north we we did forecast 1033 01:26:27,32 --> 01:26:27,52 ahead 1034 01:26:27,53 --> 01:26:32,48 a little bit in our Tuesday game but we did not want to look past the Spartans because 1035 01:26:32,49 --> 01:26:36,44 no no no they're out here and I as I look across and Scott you can probably catch 1036 01:26:36,45 --> 01:26:41,29 it to look at the rain is actually visibly falling it's light it still isn't coming 1037 01:26:41,30 --> 01:26:46,89 down don't look come towards the lights over that standard Yeah yeah yeah but I do 1038 01:26:46,90 --> 01:26:51,86 think the time is right now to mention where we're going to be on Monday night and 1039 01:26:52,38 --> 01:26:58,77 keys to that game Scott since we've brought up with $161.00 cats 729 remaining They 1040 01:26:59,66 --> 01:26:59,87 they're 1041 01:26:59,88 --> 01:27:05,91 a solid team they've played it and yeah did they did they did they they lose 1042 01:27:05,92 --> 01:27:10,89 a game maybe they should've won sure they are solid offensively they're smart 1043 01:27:10,90 --> 01:27:13,68 disciplined defense all through the middle they're there they're 1044 01:27:13,69 --> 01:27:16,67 a good quality team. They're going to be 1045 01:27:16,68 --> 01:27:21,68 a tough match up there they don't have. You know don't have 1046 01:27:21,69 --> 01:27:27,32 a Qadri of the superstars that maybe have an elder has but they're solid by certain 1047 01:27:27,33 --> 01:27:31,82 solid. It's going to be a competitive game they're a good team they're 1048 01:27:31,83 --> 01:27:36,13 a really good team and it's going to be a big test for the Wildcats in 1049 01:27:36,14 --> 01:27:40,11 a big game in the south suburban college is going to say it's one thing as you're 1050 01:27:40,12 --> 01:27:44,08 starting to wind down in that you'll get that 2nd half of the season started start 1051 01:27:44,09 --> 01:27:47,89 to think Section seedings and section play it is 1052 01:27:47,90 --> 01:27:53,18 a huge game in the saucer retired so that is another piece of the puzzle but yes 1053 01:27:53,19 --> 01:27:57,86 clearly they'll give us one of our finest looks so far this season and if the cats 1054 01:27:57,87 --> 01:28:00,07 answer the bell it's going to be 1055 01:28:00,08 --> 01:28:04,79 a gigantic accomplishment we have every confidence that they will and that game is 1056 01:28:04,80 --> 01:28:09,74 just you know it is just 48 hours away from now and it could be very very exciting 1057 01:28:09,75 --> 01:28:14,99 yeah yeah I think Boy we're going to be talking about. Faceoffs again Monday night 1058 01:28:15,27 --> 01:28:17,91 for it so but that's OK I guess that we've got 1059 01:28:17,92 --> 01:28:21,89 a bit of an answer for that that's perseverance just you know other aspects of the 1060 01:28:21,90 --> 01:28:25,97 game are going to have to backfill for that slight deficiency right now until that 1061 01:28:25,98 --> 01:28:30,91 finds its level and 11 concern you know so they place that they play St Thomas 1062 01:28:30,92 --> 01:28:32,54 tomorrow so that's 1063 01:28:32,55 --> 01:28:37,66 a big game for St Thomas big game for North they want to kind of shake off. Shake 1064 01:28:37,67 --> 01:28:37,98 off 1065 01:28:38,10 --> 01:28:43,32 a recent loss. To East view right they probably thought they should've won that game 1066 01:28:44,01 --> 01:28:44,52 and then they got 1067 01:28:44,53 --> 01:28:49,68 a good comeback for us 2 days later for the Wildcats you know the last 2 games you 1068 01:28:49,69 --> 01:28:55,50 get 816182322 the challenges. You've got to get out of the mode of 1069 01:28:55,51 --> 01:28:59,63 a game like this because you have slowed down you maybe aren't at 100 percent and 1070 01:28:59,64 --> 01:29:03,13 I'm not questioning the players' efforts and I'm say uses it's human nature you're 1071 01:29:03,14 --> 01:29:04,75 going to dial it down a little bit we don't get 1072 01:29:04,76 --> 01:29:09,59 a lead like this you've got to go back to 100 percent and stay there and be there 1073 01:29:09,60 --> 01:29:13,22 in a risk is that like the large coming off of a probably 1074 01:29:13,23 --> 01:29:17,48 a competitive game they're there they're ready and you've got to dial yourself back 1075 01:29:17,49 --> 01:29:21,59 up to be at that level of performance that you need to beat it to compete with 1076 01:29:21,60 --> 01:29:26,93 a team like that nice shot of say by Steele as the Spartans were kind of applying 1077 01:29:26,94 --> 01:29:27,89 a little pressure and he got 1078 01:29:27,90 --> 01:29:32,10 a good look steeled on his knees made the save kind of had 1079 01:29:32,11 --> 01:29:38,01 a look between his between his calves or as legs to find the ball which was safely 1080 01:29:38,50 --> 01:29:45,09 placed underneath him we're under 5 minutes now 446001 cats 1081 01:29:45,68 --> 01:29:51,41 over here is Scott can and our good friends Nick and Aaron from Egon T.V. 1082 01:29:51,42 --> 01:29:56,37 Helping out tonight we are warm and dry certainly dry and not too bad the temps 1083 01:29:56,38 --> 01:30:00,67 held the night nicely Yeah it has and we and we should be good I don't know the 1084 01:30:00,68 --> 01:30:04,52 forecast for Monday's contest and that's 1085 01:30:04,53 --> 01:30:08,70 a factor you know that's part of the equation is it going to be one of them 1086 01:30:08,71 --> 01:30:10,48 situations it creates you know 1087 01:30:10,49 --> 01:30:15,61 a little bit more parity than there may already be but I like your analogy of 1088 01:30:16,47 --> 01:30:22,87 a big game for the Panthers tomorrow. A competitive game and we're coming off 1089 01:30:22,88 --> 01:30:24,84 a couple games where we were able to shift into 1090 01:30:24,85 --> 01:30:30,08 a different mode we need to be ready to go on Monday and I clearly believe that we 1091 01:30:30,09 --> 01:30:32,75 will be yeah and it's you know we talk 1092 01:30:32,76 --> 01:30:37,22 a bit ready to go on Monday and I think I look you know we look down the palace of 1093 01:30:37,23 --> 01:30:38,94 the schedule and are there 1094 01:30:38,95 --> 01:30:42,69 a couple bigger games and others but I think if you're not ready to go for any one 1095 01:30:42,70 --> 01:30:44,73 of those games you know it's 1096 01:30:44,74 --> 01:30:48,51 a loss where the house but always has Aster Yeah there are some big ones we're not 1097 01:30:49,49 --> 01:30:55,65 a we would be like awesome if we ran the table have a 12 on one. It's 1098 01:30:55,66 --> 01:30:59,95 a tough schedule you might hit a bump or 2 and that's OK if you learn from 1099 01:30:59,96 --> 01:31:04,10 a girl from make some adjustments it's all about the section playoffs that start on 1100 01:31:04,11 --> 01:31:10,78 May 31st. Agreed I think we all know that it is it is peaking at the right time in 1101 01:31:10,79 --> 01:31:16,14 any sport are we preparing for that section Turman every time we take the field 1102 01:31:16,15 --> 01:31:20,75 Absolutely but it is about peaking at the right time and the cats are doing 1103 01:31:20,76 --> 01:31:25,63 a lot of things right there are some fundamental things and some personal things 1104 01:31:25,64 --> 01:31:28,98 that we are going to have to continue to work out will the be 1105 01:31:28,99 --> 01:31:33,72 a little more prominent under some circumstances absolutely yet have we found the 1106 01:31:33,73 --> 01:31:38,24 answer for some of those things and when we say some of those things we will talk 1107 01:31:38,25 --> 01:31:43,41 about our our Face-Off by committee right now we're we're taking advantage of our 1108 01:31:43,42 --> 01:31:48,72 facile Assam's we're taking advantage of of you know being tenacious in the circle 1109 01:31:49,52 --> 01:31:52,09 and so far. We've we've had 1110 01:31:52,10 --> 01:31:56,29 a much better out in the last couple with regard to that so yeah yeah it's 1111 01:31:56,30 --> 01:32:00,94 a you know in the goal is to come together and you know we talked about this phase 1112 01:32:00,95 --> 01:32:03,40 of the schedule like did advantage of it is with 1113 01:32:03,41 --> 01:32:07,34 a young team we talked about all those new players coming up at varsity experience 1114 01:32:07,35 --> 01:32:12,01 that when you have a game like this an Apple Valley a Farmington 1115 01:32:12,02 --> 01:32:16,53 a Burnsville you get a chance to work some of those kinks out right and get 1116 01:32:16,54 --> 01:32:21,63 a chance to get to see what people can do solve some problems now it's now it's 1117 01:32:21,64 --> 01:32:26,15 game time right now it's time to put it all all to work but you know for us to go 1118 01:32:26,16 --> 01:32:31,42 down this list of the you know themes faceoff possession goalie defense finding 1119 01:32:31,43 --> 01:32:36,33 consistent scoring. We're moving in the right direction on 4 of them and I think we 1120 01:32:36,34 --> 01:32:39,19 are the face off so we've seen some progress and it's going to come it's going to 1121 01:32:39,20 --> 01:32:40,48 happen it just takes 1122 01:32:40,49 --> 01:32:44,75 a little longer I wish I had her mayster in there tonight yet he had some wild 1123 01:32:44,76 --> 01:32:50,82 success he was clamped down battling in the circle cats are back at full strength 1124 01:32:50,83 --> 01:32:57,63 we're well under 2 minutes now 134 remaining 171 with that goal was Jack 1125 01:32:57,64 --> 01:33:04,57 Thompson he was Thompson Yep and number 23 Jackie 1126 01:33:04,58 --> 01:33:08,51 Hobson with the goal I don't recall if there was in the system you know I was I was 1127 01:33:08,69 --> 01:33:15,54 I didn't hear or see one but that doesn't necessarily so 171 cats and we're 1128 01:33:15,55 --> 01:33:20,28 at the one minute mark here as we kind of wind down both this game and this 1129 01:33:20,29 --> 01:33:25,30 broadcast and again to I think you know you don't want to get out of your lane here 1130 01:33:25,31 --> 01:33:30,19 but when we came into the booth tonight we were thinking that this could very well 1131 01:33:30,20 --> 01:33:30,62 have been 1132 01:33:30,63 --> 01:33:37,06 a conceivable outcome but again to you know the Spartans did what they needed to do 1133 01:33:37,07 --> 01:33:38,90 and the game plan for 1134 01:33:38,91 --> 01:33:44,63 a lot of teams is to take the ball away from the Wildcats you know we can score 1135 01:33:44,64 --> 01:33:50,55 faceoff when they're 4. That was Patrick Ryan that was our freshman Patrick Graham 1136 01:33:50,56 --> 01:33:56,38 and dumps one off to Ryan Colbert who fires one just to the right of the goaltender 1137 01:33:56,39 --> 01:33:57,03 with a half 1138 01:33:57,04 --> 01:34:01,79 a minute remaining slow the game down trying to control possession and it kept the 1139 01:34:01,80 --> 01:34:07,17 Spartans respectably in the game for quite a while. Shot sails 1140 01:34:07,18 --> 01:34:11,75 a little high and that was going to effectively just about do it with 15 seconds 1141 01:34:11,76 --> 01:34:18,26 remaining number 2 Ryan Colbert digs it out of the soccer net and he's going to try 1142 01:34:18,27 --> 01:34:24,60 to. So out of one last shot I don't know if it connected that pass with 32 and one 1143 01:34:24,61 --> 01:34:30,81 horn and I'll do it and that's going to do it for tonight's broadcast in our 1144 01:34:31,74 --> 01:34:36,21 look Cross contests Wildcats feeling pretty good again it wasn't just 1145 01:34:36,22 --> 01:34:36,98 a win but it was 1146 01:34:36,99 --> 01:34:42,26 a decisive win so we clearly took care of business in the kind of fashion I think 1147 01:34:42,27 --> 01:34:44,17 that you need to against 1148 01:34:44,21 --> 01:34:49,56 a team like the Spartans you don't want to come out here and when you know for goal 1149 01:34:49,57 --> 01:34:54,26 game you know 12 years on going on and not heading into a weekend of reflection 1150 01:34:54,43 --> 01:34:56,76 a weekend of preparation and ultimately 1151 01:34:56,77 --> 01:35:01,37 a big huge game 1st of many for the Wildcats starting on Monday against Panthers 1152 01:35:01,38 --> 01:35:07,41 Yeah absolutely yeah.
