Women’s LAX Dominates in USA South Victory

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.  Methodist women's lacrosse coach Rebecca Sheinfeld earned her first USA South Athletic Conference win in emphatic fashion with an 18-2 drubbing over visiting Huntingdon College Sunday afternoon.

Six different Monarchs scored at least two goals and three different players finished with five points in the game. Sarah Ewin and Sydney Bonner led with four goals each and Ewin (one assist), Kaelyn Holland (three goals and an assist), and Lindsey Brennan (two goals and three assists) were the trio with five points.

Methodist had the advantage in nearly every statistic, which helps explain the lopsided victory. The Monarchs did better in shots taken (29 to 11), draw controls (16 to six), ground balls (21 to 11), turnovers (17 to 26), and free position goals (four to one).

THE ESSENTIALS
Final score: Methodist def. Huntingdon, 18-2
Records: Methodist 2-6 (1-4 USA South), Huntingdon 2-10 (1-5)
Location: Monarch Stadium; Fayetteville, N.C.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Holland scored the first two goals of the game and Methodist tacked on two more before Huntingdon got on the board to cut the deficit to 4-1.
  • After that point, the Monarchs reeled off 12 straight goals before the Hawks were finally able to score their second goal. By then, the score was 16-2 late in the second half.
  • Methodist wasted no time exiting halftime, scoring five goals in the first five minutes.

STAT FACTS
  • The 18 goals represent a season-high for the Monarchs, shattering the previous mark of 12.
  • Monti Hendrix had a game-high 13 draw control wins, along with two ground balls and two caused turnovers.
  • Lily Eisenhart and Hendrix scored twice while Alaijah Ward scored her first collegiate goal.
  • When Mary Ellen Kelliher was not getting saves (she had four), she was playing defense like anyone else. She recovered five ground balls and caused two turnovers.
  • Ally Nagel scooped up four ground balls with two caused turnovers while Holland had four caused turnovers (a team-high) and two ground balls.
  • Methodist was much better with their free position attempts in this game, scoring four goals on five tries. Both Ewin and Bonner were a perfect two-for-two.
  • Shelby Martin and Olivia Stinson scored the two goals for Huntingdon.
