The Monarchs have now won six matches in a row, tying the squad's longest win streak since 2023. The team's eight wins so far this season already match last season's win total.
 
Though both Methodist and Meredith compete in the USA South Athletic Conference, this match will not count towards either team's conference record. The two teams will play again in April as part of USA South play.
