Monarchs Could Not Keep Up With Knights Second Half Momentum

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.  Methodist women's lacrosse welcomed Southern Virginia University to Monarch Stadium for the first time on Thursday afternoon, opening their USA South Conference play with a loss to the Knights, 16-8.  

JUST THE FACTS
Final score: Southern Virginia def. Methodist, 16-8
Records: Methodist 3-3; Southern Virginia 1-3
Location: Monarch Stadium; Fayetteville, N.C.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Off the jump, the Knights marked their first goal in the opening possession of the first frame. Two minutes later, the Monarchs answered, matching Southern Virginia with a free position goal by Payton Jones.
  • Methodist took the lead 2-1 with a goal from Alaijah Ward in man-up situation after the Knights received their first yellow card. After Southern Virginia took their second lead of the game, 3-2, Tia Marlinghaus tied it back up at three all.
  • The Monarchs trailed for the remainder of the first half, finishing the second quarter down 5-4.
  • Methodist kept Southern Virginia within reach in the third quarter and tied the game six all with goal by Rosa Williams.
  • From there, the Knights went a seven-goal run between the third and fourth quarters to extend their lead to 13-6. The Monarchs were unable to build their momentum back and only scored two more goals to end the game, 16-8 Southern Virginia.
MORE TO IT
  • The Knights gained the early possession throughout the game due to their dominance on draw controls, winning 20 of the 28 draws.

  • Jem Golombeski finished with a game-high seven ground balls along with six saves.
