Steven Floyd's Two Goals Are Not Enough as Methodist Drops Away Contest to Southern Virginia

BUENA VISTA, Va.  Methodist University men's soccer went on the road on Saturday to play Southern Virginia University in a USA South match-up. This high-scoring affair saw the Knights edge out the Monarchs in their 4-3 victory inside Knight Stadium.

JUST THE FACTS
Final score: Southern Virginia defeats Methodist, 4-3
Records: Methodist 5-5-3 (2-1-1 USA South), Southern Virginia 6-3-2 (1-2-0)
Location: Knight Stadium; Buena Vista, Virginia
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Less than three minutes into the contest, Southern Virginia struck first with Benjamin Simister finding the back of the net.
  • The next two goals were recorded by Methodist in the 24th and 38th minutes. Sophomore Steven Floyd scored the first Monarch goal after receiving a pass from fellow sophomore Carson Stretz. Then, the rookie tandem of Aidan Cohoon, the goal-scorer, and Mathias Navar worked together to register the second Methodist score.
  • A foul by the Monarchs inside of their 18-yard box resulted in a penalty shot being awarded to the Knights. Brock Hester would take the shot, and his one-timer tied up the scoreboard in the 39th minute.
  • Methodist did take a 3-2 advantage into the intermission after Floyd scored his second goal in the 41st minute. Assisting Floyd was freshman Tyler Aromin.
  • Ultimately, Southern Virginia would score the equalizer and then the game-winning goal in the 65th and 84th minutes, respectively, by Landon Stock and Simister.
NUMBERS
  • The Monarchs had chances to score more goals as they outshot the Knights 23 to eight, including a nine-to-five margin in shots on goal.
  • For Floyd, this was his first multi-goal contest in his collegiate career.
  • Since SVU joined the USA South in 2021, Methodist holds a slight 3-2 meeting edge but is 2-2 in regular-season league games.
UP NEXT
Methodist plays its last non-conference game of the 2024 season on Wednesday, Oct. 16, when the Monarchs host Shaw University, a Division II school. The opening kick is set for 7 PM.
