Stretz Nets Two as Methodist Battles Back for Road Draw

LAGRANGE, Ga.  Methodist men's soccer erased a two-goal deficit in the second half to earn a 2-2 draw at LaGrange College on Friday afternoon in non-conference play. Junior Carson Stretz netted both goals for the Monarchs to secure the result at Panthers Field.

JUST THE FACTS
Final score: Methodist tied LaGrange, 2-2
Records: Methodist 3-1-2, LaGrange 1-0-3

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Neither side could break through early, as LaGrange's Dylan Bailey saw his attempt blocked and Methodist's Josh Mott forced a save.
  • The Panthers struck first in the 18th minute when Lucas Duke intercepted a pass in Methodist's defensive half and fired a 25-yard strike into the bottom corner for a 1-0 lead.
  • LaGrange doubled its advantage in the 47th minute, as Jacob Sagstuen headed home a corner kick from Kenny Pameni to make it 2-0.
  • The Monarchs responded just three minutes later. Camden Hancox played a ball wide to Cameron Lambert, who delivered a cross into the box for Stretz, whose header cut the deficit in half.
  • Stretz and Lambert combined again in the 68th minute, when Lambert faked out a defender and slipped a pass to Stretz, who buried his second goal of the day with a one-timer to level the score at 2-2.

  • Methodist outshot LaGrange 14-6, including a 10-4 edge in shots on goal.
