  • Nate Moore scored the first goal of the third quarter to put the Monarchs up 11-4, but LaGrange was responsible for four of the next five scores, closing the gap to four goals (12-8). Scores by Chatt and Burnette extended Methodist's lead to six goals heading into the fourth quarter.
  • The teams traded two goals each in the final frame, with Breeden and Horner posting goals for the home team. Methodist's Jackson Bulkin totaled five saves during the fourth period.
FAST FACTS
