Lady Monarchs fall 2-0 at Christopher Newport in 2005 regular season finale

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – A little more than 24 hours after winning their regular season home finale, the Methodist Lady Monarchs had to turn around and travel to Christopher Newport the final game of the regular season. A victory would have given the Lady Monarchs a share of their second USA South Athletic Conference championship in the last three seasons.

However, that wasn’t in the cards on Sunday at Captains Field as Christopher Newport blanked Methodist 2-0. The defeat ends a four-game winning streak for Methodist, which finished the regular season 7-10-1 overall and 3-2-1 in the USA South. The Lady Monarchs finished third overall in the USA South.

Emily Renkin provided both goals for Christopher Newport (9-7-1, 5-1). She scored in the 11th minute off an assist by Leah Leavitt to give the Lady Captains a 1-0 lead. The scored stayed that way until the waning moments when Renkin scored unassisted in the 88th minute.

Methodist goalkeeper Amanda Evans recorded eight saves, while her Christopher Newport counterpart Erin Wojtkun had four saves.

Methodist plays host to Ferrum at 12 p.m. on Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the 2005 USA South Athletic Conference Tournament at Monarch Soccerplex.
