The Monarchs improved their play in the second half determined to finish their chances. Sophomore Ashley Kolano took a throw-in on the left flank to find senior Chrystal Bradley. Bradley beat her defender and slid a cross over to sophomore Whitney Roberson who one-timed it past the N.C. Wesleyan goalkeeper Sarah Hess. After a hard foul in the box by N.C. Wesleyan, Bradley scored on the penalty kick opportunity for the 3-0 win. Methodist out shot the Bishops 28-8 with freshmen Emily Stratton and Kasey Nichols combining in goal for the shutout, each with two saves.
