Chatt Reaches 100 Collegiate Points as Monarchs Fall to Red Dragons

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.  The Methodist men's lacrosse team showed resilience against Oneonta on Tuesday, playing a tough second half after falling into a 10-1 hole. The Monarchs were unable to catch up with the Red Dragons, but displayed excellent determination during the 17-12 defeat.

With one goal and one assist during the contest, Mark Chatt surpassed the 100-point mark of his collegiate career, becoming just the ninth player in Methodist men's lacrosse history to accomplish the feat. 

THE ESSENTIALS
Final score: Oneonta def. Methodist, 17-12
Records: Methodist 3-5, Oneonta 4-2
Location: Monarch Stadium; Fayetteville, North Carolina

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • It was a rude awakening for the Monarchs when the Red Dragons seemingly opened the floodgates, scoring the first goal of the match at the ten-minute mark, then piling on the next three over a span of less than 30 seconds. Jesse Leyble made Methodist's presence known as he sprinted towards the goal and found the back of the net for a score, but Oneonta pushed on. Up 7-1, the Red Dragons perfectly passed the ball up the field just in time to score an eighth goal as the horn sounded to signify the end of the first quarter.
  • After Oneonta scored the first goal of the second period, Jackson Bulkin entered the game as Methodist's goalkeeper. The Red Dragons scored their tenth goal before RJ Breeden scored on a man-up attempt. Oneonta quickly answered with a score despite being a man down, but Ryan Kavounis wasted no time returning fire for another Methodist goal. The two teams traded goals once more before halftime.
  • The Monarchs outscored the Red Dragons 3-2 in the third period, as Hunter Vaughan scored two goals before assisting Cy Horner on a third. On the other end of the field, Bulkin acted as a brick wall, recording six saves.
  • Methodist's offense was clicking on all cylinders in the fourth quarter. The Monarchs scored five goals, including a missile from the long stick of Patrick Rowell. Methodist's efforts turned what was once a nine-goal deficit into just a four-goal difference before the Red Dragons added one final score in the final minute of play.  
FAST FACTS
  • After being outscored 8-1 in the first period, Methodist outscored Oneonta 11-9 over the final three quarters.
  • Hunter Vaughan scored a team-high four goals while also recording an assist.
