Cougars Fall at Methodist

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Dee Moyer scored her 10th goal of the season Wednesday, but it was the only score for the Cougars, as the Averett University women's soccer team fell to Methodist College by a 10-1 final.

For Methodist (4-4, 1-1 USA South), both Leslie Oyen and Monica Gerth recorded hat-tricks in the match. Oyen scored all three of her goals in the first half, while Gerth scored a pair of first period goals and added a third in the final stanza.

Averett (3-5, 1-1 USA South) trailed 7-0 at the half, and were down 8-0 before Moyer's unassisted goal. The Monarchs then tacked on two more scores for the final margin. Shelia Nichols had 20 saves for Averett, who played with only 10 players throughout the contest.

The Cougars return to action on Friday when they host Peace College at 2 p.m. on the North Campus field.
