FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - It took nearly 93 minutes, but the Methodist women's soccer team outlasted Ferrum College 1-0 Sunday in a USA South conference game.

The Monarchs (7-5, 3-1) out shot Ferrum (1-9-1, 0-5) 9-1 in the first half, but the game was scoreless at halftime. Methodist controlled the majority of the second half with a number of solid opportunities that just missed. Sophomore Danielle Minichello had a last second shot, but the second half ended with the score knotted at zero.

Senior Whitney Roberson had two early shots in overtime before drawing a corner kick. The corner kick popped back out for senior Michelle Anderson to find Roberson. Roberson finished the shot on her first touch to give the Monarchs the 1-0 win.

Methodist junior Kasey Nichols had two saves while Katie Hodkinson made nine stops for Ferrum.

With two wins this weekend, head coach Tony Tommasi claimed his 50th and 51st wins at Methodist and 99th and 100th career wins.

The Monarchs will travel to Christopher Newport for a 1 pm game next Saturday.
