Breckenridge scores twice as Monarchs blank Averett 4-0

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – The five-game losing streak is history for the Methodist Monarch men’s soccer team. Now, it’s time to start a new streak.

The Monarchs made it two straight victories on Wednesday with a convincing 4-0 victory over visiting Averett in Methodist’s 2005 USA South Athletic Conference opener at Monarch Soccerplex. Methodist improves to 2-5-1 overall, and, more importantly, 1-0 in the USA South.

Sophomore midfielder Dustin Breckenridge provided the spark for Methodist with two goals. He gave the Monarchs a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute with a goal off a deflection by Cougar goalkeeper Gilchrist Callahan. Breckenridge then finished off the Monarch scoring with a goal in the 61st minute off an assist by Andrew Neff.

Methodist also had a goal by Adam Sippy in the 55th minute off an assist by Gregg Cohen, and then Jimmy Izaguirre scored on a penalty kick in the 60th minute. Monarch goalkeeper Jeremy Belnap recorded Methodist’s first shutout of the season with one save.

Methodist plays host to Lynchburg on Saturday at 1 p.m.
