DANVILLE, Va. -- The Methodist women's soccer team proved to be the stronger offensive team in a 1-0 win over conference foe Averett University Friday afternoon at Daly Field.
 
The Monarchs (3-2, 1-0 USAS) outshot the host Cougars (0-3-1, 0-1 USAS) by 12 shots (21-9) and an overwhelming 10 shots on frame (11-1) forcing rookie goalkeeper Bailee Brown to make 10 saves.
 
Methodist notched the lone goal of the match 10 minutes into the second frame, as Amanda Hayes recorded her third-career goal with a header off a free kick into the right side of the net.
 
Taylor Ross was awarded the win after being forced to make only one save in all 90 minutes in goal.
