HOW IT HAPPENED

  • A low scoring second period still saw Methodist outscore Averett 4-1 to increase the Monarchs advantage to 10-4 at halftime. Tallying two of the four Methodist goals was senior Jesse Leyble.
  • The third stanza was dominated by the Monarchs as they added nine more goals to their total, while shutting out the Cougars. At one point in the third, Methodist scored five goals within a three and half minute span.
  • After being held scoreless, Averett recorded the first goal of the fourth quarter to make it 19-5. In between this and the next Cougars goal, Jacob Burnette and Cy Horner added two more scores for the Monarchs. Methodist finished the game off by tacking on five additional goals.
