Monarchs Rout Royals in 18-2 Win

HOW IT HAPPENED 

  • The Monarchs scored early and often, amassing a 5-0 lead in the game's first six minutes. Mikayla Ramos scored the first two goals, followed by one from Maddie Hagler that Kayla Nee assisted on, then two scores for Nee. After allowing the Royals to score once, Nee and Tia Marlinghaus teamed up for the last two goals of the first quarter.  

  • Payton Jones kept the goals coming for Methodist in the second quarter with a score (assisted by Nee), followed by a goal for Keegan Foyles. Two more goals gave Methodist a 10-goal lead, which started a running clock with 6:29 left in the half.  

  • Just like the second quarter, the Monarchs held the Royals scoreless in the third. Kennedy Martin found the back of the net for the first score of the period, while Ramos scored the next two for her second set of back-to-back goals on the day.  

  • Macey Blackburn joined the fun with an early fourth-quarter score, shortly followed by Ramos and Jones, who continued to widen the margin of victory. With just over three minutes remaining, Eastern Mennonite scored a second goal – this one allowed by Ashley Fuentes, who checked in for starting goalkeeper Jem Golombeski after the first quarter and had recorded six saves up until that point. A final score for the Monarchs gave them a 16-goal advantage when the final horn sounded.
