No goals for you!

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.  The Methodist men's soccer team rebounded from a tough home loss last weekend with a shutout Wednesday evening of visiting Averett University in USA South Athletic Conference play.

The Monarchs won decidedly as Scott Brecke earned a shutout and Lawson Lamm, Hugo Kemppainen and Daniel Magen each scored in the 3-0 Methodist victory.

JUST THE FACTS
Final score: Methodist def. Averett 3-0
Records: Methodist 6-4-1 (3-2-1 USA South); Averett 2-10-1 (0-6-1 USA South)
Location: Monarch Soccerplex; Fayetteville, N.C.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Monarchs back line played extremely well. They were in great positioning all night long, winning interceptions, forcing deflections, and most importantly, coming out ahead in the one-on-one and two-on-two situations.
  • Methodist outshot Averett 15 to 11 and the Cougars only had two shots on goal compared to nine from the Monarchs.
  • Methodist's defense was particularly stifling in the first period as Averett only put up three shots.
  • Despite being given 11 corner kicks, Averett failed to turn those chances into any points or even shots on target.
  • Lawson Lamm set the tone for the offense when he scored a goal in the 14th minute.
  • On a corner kick from Nick Bryant, Hugo Kemppainen scored the second goal for Methodist.
  • The third goal was scored by Daniel Magen. Lamm delivered a perfect ground cross to Magen who tapped into the right corner behind the Averett goalkeeper.
  • Even though Scott Brecke earned only two saves, Brecke made great decisions all night, regarding charges and defense on corner kicks.

BEYOND THE STATS
  • It was the first goal of his career for the freshman Magen.
  • Lawson Lamm was very active, registering season highs in shots and shots on goal while scoring his first goal of the season, as well.
  • Brecke earned his fourth shutout of the season with this performance.
  • While Methodist is now above .500 in conference play, the Cougars have yet to win a conference game.

COUGARS NOTES
  • Erik Blick and David Molen were the the only two Averett players to register a shot on goal.
  • Austin Bramhall earned five saves in the game.

UP NEXT
  • The Monarchs are back at home Saturday at 7 p.m. to take on  William Peace University (8-2-4).
  • Averett University hopes to get their first conference win when they travel to Kentucky to play Berea (0-7) Saturday at 2 p.m.
