Game Recap: Men's Soccer |

Making the most of its chances

GREENSBORO, N.C.  Methodist out shot host Guilford College Wednesday night in men's non-conference soccer action, but the Quakers were spot on with their attempts on goal, hitting on four of five on frame to capture a 4-1 win over the visiting Monarchs on Herb Appenzeller Field.

JUST THE FACTS
Final Score: Guilford def. Methodist, 4-1
Records: Methodist 1-2 overall, Guilford 3-0 overall
Location: Herb Appenzeller Field at Armfield Athletic Center, Greensboro, N.C.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Guilford scored on four of its five shots on goal to steal a win after getting out shot by Methodist, 8-7.
  • Garrett Shan scored his first goal of the season for Methodist, trimming a 3-0 deficit with 30 minutes left in the game.
  • Two of the Quakers' goals were lengthy plays. Their third marker was a breakaway goal and their last was a long pass that got behind the Monarch goalkeeper.
  • Trailing only 1-0 midway through the opening half, Methodist picked up its first scoring chance on a sharp Yazeed Alshamekh attempt, but Guilford's Zach Van Kampen was able to make a charging save on the play to keep the Monarchs off the scoreboard.
  • The third Guilford tally was perhaps the dagger to Methodist. Coming out of recess it was only a two-goal deficit but the Quakers added a third goal less than three minutes into second-half action to create a mountain of a hill for the Monarchs to climb.

BEYOND THE STATS
  • Methodist defeated the Quakers in Fayetteville last season, which was the first meeting between the two teams since 2009.
  • Guilford's win Wednesday pulls the series record a little closer, but Methodist still leads at 12-5-1.

QUAKER NOATS
  • Guilford kept its season-opening win streak alive with the evening's victory. It had to work overtime in the second of its three wins, however, before taking down host LaGrange on Sept. 2.
  • Eight different players have scored Guilford's nine goals this season.

NEXT UP
  • The Monarchs hosts the Methodist Classic on Saturday and Sunday. Pfeiffer, Frostburg State and Marymount will travel to Fayetteville with Methodist squaring off against Marymount Saturday night and Frostburg Sunday afternoon.
  • Guilford entertains Averett in a Sunday match-up.
