NCWC women's soccer ends season with 4-0 loss to Monarchs

Fayetteville, NC - The North Carolina Wesleyan women's soccer team saw its 2008 season come to an end on Tuesday afternoon with a 4-0 loss to Methodist University in the first round of the USA South Conference Tournament. The Bishops forced a 0-0 tie at the half, but the Monarchs scored four unanswered goals in the final period to advance. Wesleyan finishes the season at 6-10-1 overall, while the game marked the end of the careers of seniors Bryanne Godfrey, Reva McCloud, Mikey Case, Alex Fountaine, Rachel Hernandez, Lauren Stearns, Tori Tenner, and Megan Kintner. 

Godfrey made six saves on seven MU shots in the first half to secure a 0-0 tie at the break. Unfortunately, the Monarchs' Allyson Feller netted the eventual gamewinner in the 51st minute, while Marissa Kuzbyt (73:54), Jillian Reed (77:59/PK), and Whitney Roberson (81:34) followed suit with scores of their own for the 4-0 final.

Methodist out-shot Wesleyan 16-4 on the day and held a 17-1 advantage in corner kicks. Godfrey finished with seven saves, while teammate Sarah Hess had two over the final 40 minutes of play. MU keepers Kasey Nichols and Sara Altman combined for the shutout, tallying three stops in the contest.

With the win, the Monarchs advance to Friday's semifinal action at Christopher Newport University. NCWC and head coach Beverly Biancur will now turn their sites to replacing the eight seniors that have meant so much to the Battling Bishop program over the past four years.
