- 0:16SPEAKER_01: Three wins in a row.
- 0:18SPEAKER_01: Um the game was definitely at 6 30 Eastern.
- 0:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so surprising fact, um the Gambridge League times are Eastern time zone.
- 0:30SPEAKER_02: And so when you show up, like way ahead of the kickoff at like 7.05, the game is already like 30 minutes in.
- 0:38SPEAKER_01: You just gotta you just gotta bait they're probably but I heard it was good.
- 0:41SPEAKER_01: You know they're probably based on the East Coast.
- 0:43SPEAKER_01: You know, these these elite.
- 0:46SPEAKER_01: All right, it's a Pegasus.
- 0:47SPEAKER_02: But it's where most of the teams are.
- 0:50SPEAKER_01: It's a Pegasus post match.
- 0:52SPEAKER_01: Um after Dallas Trinity goes to Fort Lauderdale and wins two goals to one.
- 0:58SPEAKER_01: I'm Jesse Madsen.
- 1:00SPEAKER_01: I'm with Rich Rogers almost as always.
- 1:02SPEAKER_01: I almost said as always, but it's pretty much as always.
- 1:05SPEAKER_01: Working on it.
- 1:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:06SPEAKER_01: Um we're always here in spirit.
- 1:10SPEAKER_01: I guess that's what we got.
- 1:12SPEAKER_01: Um set the scene.
- 1:14SPEAKER_01: We are at White Rock Brewing Company, gracious hosts, as always, um gracious support.
- 1:20SPEAKER_01: Um one thing about White Rock is they come out and they service beer, the supporters, at the before the home matches, and you know, you can't get any better than that.
- 1:32SPEAKER_01: They ask it no questions asked.
- 1:34SPEAKER_01: They're out there in the in the and serving up whatever they got, and I and I love that, and we've got to support them.
- 1:40SPEAKER_01: Um but yeah, what a great home win, Rich.
- 1:43SPEAKER_01: Or sorry, road win.
- 1:45SPEAKER_01: And um what do you think, Rich?
- 1:48SPEAKER_01: Like, what are we doing here?
- 1:50SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, I think that's the thing.
- 1:52SPEAKER_02: Like, we were talking a minute ago, like uh, you know, having those last two home matches be a win.
- 1:58SPEAKER_02: Um and especially the last one, um, I you know it really sets the team up to have the confidence that they needed to go on the road.
- 2:08SPEAKER_02: And what I loved about the first, you know, the latter part of the first half, since I missed the first part of it, the latter part of the first half, and really um the first probably 10-15 minutes of the second half is we looked like we were completely in control.
- 2:26SPEAKER_02: You know, we had at half we had 55% possession, so you know, kind of falling in line with what we've been doing all season.
- 2:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're gonna round it.
- 2:36SPEAKER_01: We round it's 60-40.
- 2:37SPEAKER_01: We're gonna go 60-40.
- 2:38SPEAKER_02: But it but it is, but it's like, but it really, like, I mean, we had lots of possession, we were we were at it.
- 2:43SPEAKER_02: Um and it felt like we were in control.
- 2:46SPEAKER_02: Um we get up 2-0, and then when they get one back, it goes a little bit off the rails, but I'm skipping way, way ahead.
- 2:55SPEAKER_02: But all that to say, like, that what a I mean, I'm just excited that you know we've put three wins together.
- 3:02SPEAKER_02: I'm trying to think the last time we did that.
- 3:05SPEAKER_02: Um don't do that to me.
- 3:06SPEAKER_02: I know, I know, like well, I'm I'm like I'm looking at stats guy going, when's the last time we put three wins in a row together?
- 3:12SPEAKER_02: But honestly, like I think in this league, those are the kind of runs that you need in order to do something.
- 3:21SPEAKER_02: And so the fact that, you know, there's a lot of there's still a lot of games to play, but putting these three wins together, like that's big, it's important, and I I mean couldn't be happier, of course, but like I think we need to recognize like that's that's really it's hard to do, and and I'm I'm really proud of this team for doing it.
- 3:41SPEAKER_01: Yeah, three wins in a row, like you, and I agree, winning can be a habit, just like poor results.
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: Um and we felt like with the first few matches that it might become a habit of just we can't we can't get a win, we can't get three points.
- 4:00SPEAKER_01: Um but the patterns were there early on in the in the season, and we're kind of we're reaping the benefits right now, I think, a lot.
- 4:10SPEAKER_01: And to get two wins and then to go on the road to get this win can only help us going forward.
- 4:17SPEAKER_01: It's like I said, like you said, and what we've said, is like this is kind of a habit.
- 4:22SPEAKER_01: Um I was so like just to back up a little bit, even though you were you were you know you arrived a little bit later, like I was struck by the lineup tonight.
- 4:34SPEAKER_01: Like there was there's a lot of changes tonight, and credit to to the players for stepping up that maybe didn't factor in so much or weren't in that starting role, but now here they're they are on the road stepping up and doing a thing.
- 4:55SPEAKER_01: Um I was just so uh first of all, I was struck by the changes, but also so proud of how we started and how we got to 1-0 with those changes.
- 5:08SPEAKER_01: Um back line was pretty much as is, but the main change was Beckman stepping into midfield with Felicia Knox.
- 5:16SPEAKER_01: We saw Felicia Knox in that in the mid midfield last week.
- 5:21SPEAKER_01: Um but then Beckman stepped in the midfield, but then across like our entire front four, almost our entire front four was changed from the previous week.
- 5:30SPEAKER_01: Anyka Gamero on the left there, but we haven't seen LJ Moore.
- 5:34SPEAKER_01: LJ Moore was up top, so sevens on the bench.
- 5:38SPEAKER_01: Um in behind LJ or with her, like where you would normally see Cam.
- 5:42SPEAKER_01: We had we had Arya uh Nagai, and then on the right, um we had Jasmine, you know, so our wingers were were there.
- 5:52SPEAKER_01: So it was a good mix of the players that were delivering for us the last two matches, and uh and like frankly, like a I mean a good mix now, but players that maybe didn't feature but stepped up and got us to the point of um really commanding the match and getting us to 1-0.
- 6:14SPEAKER_02: Well, and I th I think also like having Sidney Cheesman back in the starting lineup, um, you know, to to really like add to that defensive line.
- 6:24SPEAKER_01: Yeah, cheeseman cheeseman in for Beckman on the right back.
- 6:27SPEAKER_01: So she was like Cheesman was very much a right back, whereas Beckman was, you know, at home, you know, she wants to wander and chuck inside and do all this.
- 6:36SPEAKER_01: But yeah, Cheesman coming back in on that right back.
- 6:38SPEAKER_02: I mean, and and the thing about that is, is like, you know, Sydney's shown that she's really capable on uh in an in the defensive side of things, but you know, also looking forward and and trying wanting to be on the front foot and helping us with that possession game of moving the ball forward.
- 6:55SPEAKER_02: I thought that was evident tonight.
- 6:57SPEAKER_02: Um and you know, the other thing about it is is that you know, when you look at what's on the bench and what could come off the bench, as far as subs go, um you have a really dynamic group of players that can come off the bench to help out.
- 7:13SPEAKER_02: And that was also something that was exciting tonight.
- 7:15SPEAKER_02: It's like, you know, that starting lineup might have been a little bit surprising.
- 7:19SPEAKER_02: It was to me, but you know that like depending on how it goes, and it went really well, it's like, but then you've got some backup to come on and hopefully put things away.
- 7:33SPEAKER_02: And I know that and they did do that, but it was also it got a little crazy, and and it was good to have those players on the pitch at that point to be able to kind of withstand the storm to come.
- 7:47SPEAKER_02: Um but um really interesting starting lineup, but I wasn't worried about it.
- 7:52SPEAKER_02: I felt good about it.
- 7:54SPEAKER_02: Um and and then watching it play out and and seeing that first goal.
- 8:00SPEAKER_02: Um also really excited to see our captain, um, you know, uh amazing header from a corner.
- 8:07SPEAKER_02: From a corner.
- 8:08SPEAKER_02: So talk a little bit about that, Jesse.
- 8:10SPEAKER_02: Tell us about that goal.
- 8:11SPEAKER_01: Well, no, that was it was so good to see, but throughout the first half, like the pitch was like Fort Lauderdale's pitch was like the what uh what's the number I'm looking for?
- 8:24SPEAKER_01: Like the 23rd player of the match.
- 8:28SPEAKER_01: The pitch, that pitch was just horrendous.
- 8:30SPEAKER_01: The ball would not move.
- 8:34SPEAKER_02: Like it was just such a um It got better as the game went on, but early on, like when I showed up When I showed up, it was terrible.
- 8:43SPEAKER_02: It got I think in the second half it was a little bit better.
- 8:45SPEAKER_01: No, but the ball was still not really moving.
- 8:48SPEAKER_01: And and I don't know, it's like um it's like you're um it's like you're watching a video or you're like or like you're playing a video game and you want things to go faster constantly, and this like it was just not happening.
- 9:03SPEAKER_01: But to get but to my what I'm leading up to is basically like what we were what we were what we were building to couldn't quite get it to the final third and really open up Fort Lauderdale, which we were really comfortable um throughout that first half.
- 9:19SPEAKER_01: It was very little threat that Fort Lauderdale was able to impose on us.
- 9:24SPEAKER_01: My little worry throughout that first half was this, was was that with this 23rd player of like slowing us down.
- 9:30SPEAKER_01: We want to make triangles and we want to draw draw our opponent out and do all this and and then beat him behind.
- 9:39SPEAKER_01: But we had a we but the pitch like made it really difficult to like kind of quicken things up.
- 9:44SPEAKER_01: So to my point is like we win a corner and instead of using the pitch, we just go over.
- 9:52SPEAKER_01: Um so Beckman um is on the corner and Sophia Braun heads it in.
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: It's all it's pretty much a free header for and like I love I love those type of goals when you have the whole team in frame, the whole opponent in frame, and they're all just looking like what what what did we just do?
- 10:13SPEAKER_01: Like how like how dumb is this?
- 10:15SPEAKER_01: Like, how dumb did we just just do this?
- 10:18SPEAKER_01: We let the captain have a free header in the in the in our box, and guess what?
- 10:23SPEAKER_01: It ended up in the net.
- 10:24SPEAKER_01: Um I couldn't work out if it was her uh career, first career goal.
- 10:29SPEAKER_01: That doesn't make sense to me, but it doesn't matter.
- 10:32SPEAKER_01: It's her first goal for us, and and we just have to celebrate it.
- 10:35SPEAKER_01: And I, you know, being one nil up on the road, that was just like perfect.
- 10:40SPEAKER_02: Well, and it's one of those things where I I love it when the captain of the team scores.
- 10:48SPEAKER_02: Like I like I love seeing, and you and and because you know she's she's a center back, like like she's like she doesn't have as many opportunities to to score.
- 11:00SPEAKER_02: Kind of like with Amber, like you know, but but Amber took more like free kicks, um, at least so far, compared to what um Braun has done to this point.
- 11:13SPEAKER_02: But I love just I love seeing the person with the armband, the leader of the team, the person that most of the time is encouraging everybody else to do more, to be more, to be in the right position, directing traffic, and then to see them step up and put it in net, like that's such a great feeling.
- 11:30SPEAKER_02: Like, it's just the best.
- 11:32SPEAKER_02: And so I loved that for her.
- 11:34SPEAKER_02: I loved it for the team.
- 11:36SPEAKER_02: Uh seeing everybody celebrate that and the way that they did it, the excitement that the players had, uh, it was a great moment.
- 11:44SPEAKER_02: It was great, it was a great moment here too.
- 11:46SPEAKER_02: But like, I I love that.
- 11:48SPEAKER_02: Like, it's just it's exciting.
- 11:49SPEAKER_01: No, like if if uh a patron saint, patron, patron Trinity Saint Amber was watching this match, she had to have been so well, she probably was like excited for the team because that's what she is, but like that was a like if you could if you could draw up an Amber goal, yeah, that would be the one.
- 12:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 12:14SPEAKER_01: Because she wins every header, but here is our captain, and you know, she's got pretty much this free header in the box, and there's really no question, and she puts it away, and it was just so good.
- 12:25SPEAKER_01: And to go up one nil, it things were became really comfortable after that.
- 12:30SPEAKER_01: And um I was never really worried uh up until halftime.
- 12:35SPEAKER_01: Uh Fort Lauderle had Fort Lauder, we like gave up a corner like late in the in that first half.
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: But we gave up a corner, and it was the strangest corner I think I've ever seen taken.
- 12:47SPEAKER_01: Like I didn't even see the ball come off the corner taker foot, and it was just like I don't even know what happened.
- 12:53SPEAKER_01: The that was the 23rd player, and like working against them.
- 12:57SPEAKER_01: I think it was like a slipping situation.
- 12:59SPEAKER_01: We saw it later for our corner, and it was like a thing that no anyone like thinks about as like a rule, but yeah, you go ahead.
- 13:08SPEAKER_02: Well, I I would just say like I, you know, so I've I've been supporting football teams for a little while.
- 13:16SPEAKER_02: Um, and I've you feel like you get to a point where you're like, I understand what's going on, I know all the things, and I gotta tell you, like, I learned something new tonight, and and that is like um so I know like when you throw a ball in, you can't be the person that touches it first.
- 13:33SPEAKER_02: I understand that.
- 13:35SPEAKER_02: But I just didn't realize that the same thing's true on a corner.
- 13:38SPEAKER_02: So go up to take the corner, hit the ball, slip, and then you've got the other team coming at the ball.
- 13:49SPEAKER_02: And you've got a couple choices there, and and I talked, you know, Crystal and I were talking a little bit about this uh uh right afterwards.
- 13:56SPEAKER_02: It's like you have the choice where it's like you touch it, and you know you're like they're gonna give the the other team the ball there, but you are stopping play, and that's important depending on what else you see going on.
- 14:09SPEAKER_02: Um at the same time, you can wait till the other player gets near and try to like nick the ball from them after they touch it.
- 14:16SPEAKER_02: Um but I just didn't like I just didn't realize that was rule.
- 14:18SPEAKER_02: Like she goes to kick the corner, slips, um as she touches the ball, and then touches again.
- 14:26SPEAKER_02: It's like whistle.
- 14:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was that was wild.
- 14:29SPEAKER_02: I so I learned something new tonight, so it's great.
- 14:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 14:31SPEAKER_01: Chris of Chris and Beckman slipped on one.
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: Um but but yeah, that was the 23rd player coming in out of the off the top rope, trying to trying to smash us all.
- 14:42SPEAKER_02: Um I thought maybe one of their two uh mascots had like a long hook that was just like I don't know.
- 14:50SPEAKER_02: It it was it was very vaudeville-esque.
- 14:52SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like a like an Acme hook came out of nowhere and did that.
- 14:56SPEAKER_01: Um so we got another goal from Jasmine.
- 14:59SPEAKER_01: Like straight out of I had to go back and look at it because it came so fast.
- 15:04SPEAKER_02: Um It was like like like I told you as it like after it happened, like, you know, the we get the we start off, we take the ball, we're moving it around in the back, and then and very nonchalantly, and the next thing you know, we have a goal.
- 15:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like it was nonchalant, but like But it got serious quick.
- 15:25SPEAKER_01: Like it like if I were gonna just like draw up a Jasmine Hamid goal, that would be the one.
- 15:31SPEAKER_01: Where she's just st streaking in on goal, she's got the ball at her feet, and she's just going direct, and like this is this is this is coming at you.
- 15:43SPEAKER_01: Whether or not you can keep this out, yeah, good luck.
- 15:48SPEAKER_01: But she put it right in.
- 15:50SPEAKER_01: But yeah, it came kind of out of nothing.
- 15:51SPEAKER_01: It was like right off the kickoff.
- 15:53SPEAKER_01: A thing uh a thing I'm just like remembering, like up until in in through the into way too late, uh, Fort Lauderdale was really passive in in letting our two center halves have the ball.
- 16:10SPEAKER_01: Uh Mila Brewer and Sophia Braun could have tapped it back and forth for as long as they want, if they didn't change anything.
- 16:18SPEAKER_01: I think that happened.
- 16:19SPEAKER_01: That you could have said that for about 60 minutes of the match.
- 16:23SPEAKER_01: Credit to us, we kept trying to play, but so that comes off the kickoff, and like Sophia Braun, I think it was Sophia Braun.
- 16:30SPEAKER_01: She's kind of has this kind of the like the free look at the whole field.
- 16:34SPEAKER_01: That comes back to her and she pings it in that channel on that to the to Fort Lauderdale's left back and right into the area where Jasmine is running, and the Fort Lauderdale miss hits it or misplays it and falls right at her feet, and she's in, and she just slots it, and it's like within seconds of that restart of the second half, we're now two up two-nil.
- 16:59SPEAKER_01: And you know, a real again, a credit to the team, a credit to the players, because at that point it was still the players who who were working through the changes and who are now up two-nil on the road, and that's a hard thing to do.
- 17:17SPEAKER_02: Well, I think there are two things to think about when it comes to that goal.
- 17:20SPEAKER_02: The first is it's so early in the half, and so I mean, you're just a minute in, and I feel like I feel like Fort Lauderdale just wasn't like turned completely on.
- 17:34SPEAKER_02: And I don't know that the keeper was turned completely on, but the thing that was impressive to me about that goal from Jasmine was this wasn't like a straight shot in the sense that you're like the goal's right in front of you.
- 17:48SPEAKER_02: There was an angle there, like there was that was there was there was quite an angle there, and she hit that like perfectly.
- 17:58SPEAKER_02: Um the keeper, the keepers standing there flat footed had no chance of getting to that because of the angle that Jasmine took it from.
- 18:07SPEAKER_02: And so it's just once again, like a real credit to Jasmine and what she's capable of doing.
- 18:13SPEAKER_02: And one of the things I've just loved seeing this season versus last season is just like like we're seeing what Jasmine Hamid can do.
- 18:23SPEAKER_02: Um and like we're putting like the the staff coaching staff's putting her in the right positions.
- 18:28SPEAKER_02: Um we've got defensive players and midfielders that are getting her in the ball in the right places, and and then she's able to take that and turn it into something.
- 18:39SPEAKER_02: And so, you know, it's it's not just her skill and her ability, but it's also everything everything that's built up to make that work.
- 18:49SPEAKER_02: And I really, really love that.
- 18:51SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 18:52SPEAKER_01: Jasmine, so Jasmine, that's now that's now four of her last four of she scored in four of her last five games.
- 19:01SPEAKER_01: Now that's three in a row.
- 19:03SPEAKER_01: Now, like, that's exactly what you want.
- 19:06SPEAKER_01: So there's a lot of talk of like oh well we don't we don't play with a nine or whatever, or we don't um you know, we have a focal point.
- 19:15SPEAKER_01: Well that's our focal point.
- 19:17SPEAKER_01: So whether she's coming off the right or the left or through the middle, I mean you and I have been a a supporter of a team that was kind of unconventional where the threat of the team would come from not like where you would not where you would expect.
- 19:36SPEAKER_01: Not where you'd expect.
- 19:39SPEAKER_01: So you've got a right winger now who's I I would characterize as the focal point of the team.
- 19:45SPEAKER_01: And she's scoring goals, and long may that continue.
- 19:50SPEAKER_02: Well, but I also think that if you if you put a like if you start double teaming her and like really like Yeah.
- 19:59SPEAKER_02: I think if other teams start like overloading on that side, I think we've shown that there are other players that can step up and score.
- 20:07SPEAKER_02: And and so to me it's just a good thing.
- 20:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, we've got multiple like in a couple of things.
- 20:11SPEAKER_02: We've got multiple goal scores.
- 20:12SPEAKER_02: What I mean is like No, she is she is the focal point and and should be because she like she's shown like she's a goal scorer, like she is like she really is, like she can do it.
- 20:24SPEAKER_01: That goal comes from the back line looking for her run.
- 20:29SPEAKER_01: Yeah right?
- 20:30SPEAKER_01: So long may that continue.
- 20:33SPEAKER_01: So the more the players are knowing like her movements, where she's where she wants the ball, where her threat is gonna be, is we can only profit from.
- 20:45SPEAKER_01: And opponents will have to adjust to it eventually.
- 20:48SPEAKER_01: And that could open more up more space for for others.
- 20:51SPEAKER_01: But yeah, no, you're right.
- 20:52SPEAKER_01: Like, we've got multiple goal scores or multiple threats.
- 20:55SPEAKER_01: But to me, Jasmine Hamid, despite you know, the qu a question of like, do we have a nine or do this?
- 21:02SPEAKER_01: It doesn't matter.
- 21:03SPEAKER_01: A nine, like the goals the goals go in the net, and if you're your your attacking focal point, it starts on the right and and finishes in the middle, what what does it matter?
- 21:13SPEAKER_01: It doesn't matter.
- 21:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no.
- 21:16SPEAKER_01: So so yeah, like so right out of the second half, getting that goal.
- 21:20SPEAKER_02: Hey, and she got a yellow card tonight, too.
- 21:23SPEAKER_01: So she just somehow got a yellow card.
- 21:24SPEAKER_01: She did.
- 21:25SPEAKER_01: That's the thing I'm actually.
- 21:26SPEAKER_02: After all ball, but anyway, yeah, there was that.
- 21:29SPEAKER_02: But it's alright.
- 21:30SPEAKER_01: But that's all right.
- 21:30SPEAKER_01: Um so for Laradell makes some changes.
- 21:33SPEAKER_01: We get knocked back.
- 21:35SPEAKER_01: Like I was ho I was begging, calling out for some changes.
- 21:39SPEAKER_01: There was a lot of legs going um at about 60 minutes, 70 minutes.
- 21:43SPEAKER_01: Um 67 minutes.
- 21:50SPEAKER_02: Right around there.
- 21:51SPEAKER_01: And I'm glad we did them.
- 21:53SPEAKER_01: I was I was hoping I was really worried um even earlier, but But yeah, like and like like we kind of started, like the starting lineup allowed us a lot of great changes to make.
- 22:08SPEAKER_02: I mean, bringing in Cam Lancaster, Eisenberger, amazing.
- 22:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah, she came on later.
- 22:16SPEAKER_01: But yeah, it was Castain uh Cam and Sophia Sedeno.
- 22:20SPEAKER_01: So the three you would expect in the starting lineup come on and kind of cool things out.
- 22:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and it and it and it was um I will say though that um Fort Lauderdale's goal, like it just felt like a real breakdown on our part.
- 22:37SPEAKER_02: Like it felt like we were doing everything we wanted to do, and I it almost like in a weird way, and I'm sure this wasn't the way the players felt, but like as an as an observer, it felt like we just got comfortable in what we were doing, and it was like it was like a moment of direct play.
- 22:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 22:58SPEAKER_01: Where the ball came into Mila Brewer's marker.
- 23:02SPEAKER_01: It was almost a mirror image of um Jasmine's goal.
- 23:06SPEAKER_01: It was.
- 23:07SPEAKER_01: And I think to me, I kept thinking like this is the 23rd player coming into play.
- 23:13SPEAKER_01: Because it was like the ball came in the right, exact right places, found the space, found the right players and the right touches.
- 23:21SPEAKER_01: And Shania Gordon is really is like if you're gonna call out it, she what got on the broadcast, she got player the match.
- 23:28SPEAKER_01: I don't really like giving player the match to a team that doesn't win the match, but I mean, fair enough, she's a really quality player, but that's how that get goal came, almost similar to the Jasmine goal, where it was like it it came into a bunch of space and it just came just right, and she was in on goal and she just finished the.
- 23:45SPEAKER_02: I mean, Sierra is the only defender back there.
- 23:48SPEAKER_02: There's nobody else there.
- 23:50SPEAKER_02: And I and I, you know, Sierra was my player of the match last week.
- 23:55SPEAKER_02: I I I love her.
- 23:57SPEAKER_02: I think she's um unbelievably underrated for what she does, but she um, you know, she really like like in that moment, she did everything she could, but you know, Gordon nutmegs it right through her legs, and the keepers Priscilla's no chance.
- 24:15SPEAKER_02: Like it was it was a really beautiful goal.
- 24:17SPEAKER_02: I just this the setup and the way we let that through that was the frustrating part for me.
- 24:24SPEAKER_02: It's like I do I wish that we'd have been able to be more compact and tighter to not allow that, but once Gordon had it in the box, it wasn't surprising that it went a net.
- 24:34SPEAKER_02: Like she quality player, quality shot, um, great finish.
- 24:39SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so we got the subs on and it kind of cooled things off.
- 24:43SPEAKER_01: Um the end of the match.
- 24:45SPEAKER_01: I was I was at my wit's end at the end of the match.
- 24:49SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you were.
- 24:50SPEAKER_01: We we couldn't we in in the opposite way that I was not last week because we're at home and we were mostly keeping the opponent at arm's length.
- 25:00SPEAKER_01: Tonight we could not find that outball for about 10 minutes to end the match.
- 25:05SPEAKER_01: And um credit to credit to all the players for sticking in.
- 25:10SPEAKER_01: Um I want to say call out, a name that we haven't talked about enough is Niku Purcell.
- 25:18SPEAKER_01: She came up in this second in the second half with five saves in the second half.
- 25:23SPEAKER_01: Um not I I don't know how the breakdown after the their goal or anything, but I I it's n it's almost never good to have your player of the match, the the keeper, but I'm tempted to give it to Maybe you don't like it.
- 25:38SPEAKER_01: I don't like it.
- 25:39SPEAKER_01: But I'm tempted to give it to her um in this in this instance because of her command in that in the box throughout that second half and really helped us keep get three points out of a tough away.
- 25:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I for me like I've got to go with our captain, Sophia Braun.
- 26:01SPEAKER_02: Like, I just number one getting the goal, but number two, like, you know, moving the ball forward for the second goal, um, her like just the way she's directing the team, her like you could see her leadership like really coming into play.
- 26:19SPEAKER_02: Um, and you know, it's I you know I was excited when she signed with the club, uh, really excited to get her on board, and I I think you're starting to really see her impact um on the pitch, and and so yeah, she's she's my player of the match.
- 26:36SPEAKER_01: I didn't mean that to devolve into a like a player of the match.
- 26:38SPEAKER_01: We're doing it, we did it.
- 26:40SPEAKER_01: We can't take it back.
- 26:41SPEAKER_02: There's no there's no seconds.
- 26:43SPEAKER_01: You gotta just so I want to bring in someone who's just sat next to me.
- 26:47SPEAKER_01: Um I want to maybe get her player of the match.
- 26:51SPEAKER_01: Um, I know you really love, so so she has appeared on she's been on the podcast before.
- 26:58SPEAKER_01: Um I'm I'm stretching to allow Allie to think about her player of the match.
- 27:03SPEAKER_01: But um I but I love but but if you come to a Trinity match, you if you see Allie, she always brings the energy, she always brings the passion, and but I really want from Allie right now your player of the match.
- 27:21SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna hand it off to you, Allie.
- 27:23SPEAKER_01: Your player of the match tonight.
- 27:27SPEAKER_00: I'd say my player of the match is I'd just say Sierra.
- 27:36SPEAKER_00: She's she's been she's she's working.
- 27:41SPEAKER_00: She's I uh I I love the way she just plays.
- 27:46SPEAKER_00: She's got that like she just gives off the driven mindset.
- 27:51SPEAKER_00: She's she's I don't even know how to explain it.
- 28:00SPEAKER_01: So so you you Sierra caught your eye tonight.
- 28:03SPEAKER_01: Um what I love about Sierra is not only has she been here since the beginning, but like you said, tonight she had so much work to do and so much space to cover.
- 28:16SPEAKER_01: And that, like you said, like a mindset, and I think she really embodies it.
- 28:21SPEAKER_01: Um Sierra, for you, um do you like do you like more so she kind of does it all?
- 28:29SPEAKER_01: Do you like a lot of things when she defends because she does a lot of that, but but she also like really is is she does a lot in helping us get forward and score goals.
- 28:39SPEAKER_01: Is there anything in there that you really that you pick out and that you really love to see?
- 28:45SPEAKER_00: For me, like I've seen her, I I've seen the way she defends, but like one second she's defending, but yeah, when you at least expect it, she's attacking.
- 28:57SPEAKER_00: Like I I just love it.
- 29:00SPEAKER_00: I'm like, whoa, you're just on defense.
- 29:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, Sierra does it all.
- 29:07SPEAKER_01: Sierra does it all.
- 29:08SPEAKER_01: No, she does.
- 29:08SPEAKER_02: She's amazing.
- 29:10SPEAKER_01: So there you go.
- 29:11SPEAKER_01: Sierra, we got three different opinions.
- 29:13SPEAKER_01: No one's wrong here.
- 29:14SPEAKER_02: Well, honestly, like after a really great win, it's just fun to celebrate the team.
