HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Tatiana Lourenco-Shiber recorded the first, and eventual game-winner, goal in the 20th minute. At the top of the goalie box, Lourenco-Shiber passed the ball off to her teammate Laura Harris than Harris quickly passed it back to Lourenco-Shiber, who would beat the keeper to her left.
  • The other two goals in the first half came from Alyssa Morrell and Natalia Marshall-Hewitt. A Madison Hoopes corner kick found Morrell in the middle for a header into the top corner of the net. Marshall-Hewitt put one back the goalie after receiving a pass from Rachel Johnson.
  • Corrine Shovlain was the only Methodist player to have a multi-goal game. Rianna Orello saw an open Shovlain and sent a long through ball. Shovlain was able to get a touch and sneak it past a charging goalie. The second one was off a deflection that saw Salem's goalie make one save but could not corral it and Shovlain made her pay for it.
  • After assisting on two goals, Harris got the on board herself by stealing the ball from a defender and then kicking it past the keeper's right.
  • A couple of Monarchs tallied their first goals of the season. First was Charlie Oldham, who kicked it between a defender and the goalie to register her first collegiate goal of her career. The other was Johnson on a tremendous long shot from about 25 yards out after receiving a pass from Harris Barr.
  • Kelsey Burge and Kate Herndon connected with each other for the final goal. Herndon crossed the ball toward the net and Burge finished it off with a header.
STAT FACTS
  • This one sided affair saw Methodist lead multiple statistical categories including shots (28), shots on goal (16), and corner kicks (8). The stout Monarch defense only allowed three Spirit shots, one on target.
  • With the win today, Methodist now has seven shutout win including shutting out their last five opponents and outscoring those teams 23-0.
