2nd-half rally, but Falcons prevail

MISENHEIMER, N.C.  On the road for a USA South Athletic Conference matchup against Pfeiffer University, the Methodist women's lacrosse team was unable to recover from a first-half deficit and the Falcons held on for a 10-6 victory Saturday afternoon.

Pfeiffer jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the first half. Although, the Monarchs never quit and were able to reel off three straight goals in the final 3:38 of game, giving Methodist much-needed momentum ahead of a four-game homestand against conference opponents.

Despite the score, Methodist actually outdid Pfeiffer in a couple of key areas. The Monarchs took 27 shots compared to the Falcons' 23; the shots on goal differential was 20-16 in favor of Methodist; as well, the Monarchs had 12 draw control wins, doubling up the host Falcons.
