Lady Roadrunners End Season With Loss To Martin Methodist


PULASKI, Tenn. - #5 Martin Methodist proved why they are a top-5 team in the country by ending Dalton State's season with a 6-1 loss at Grissom Pitch in Pulaski, Tenn. on Saturday afternoon.

THE FIRST HALF
The Lady Red Hawks started on the attack quick with four goals in the first 15 minutes. All-American Millene Cabral would collect a hat trick with goals in the 4', 6', and 11' for an early 3-0 lead. Cabral would connect with Miku Sunaga on a goal scoring combination in the 15' to put the Lady Red Hawks up 4-0.

Martin Methodist would not stop there with another goal in the 23' by Natsuna Sugishita for a 5-0 lead. Dalton State would get a shot at goal in the 37', but Caitlin Dumond would stop the opportunity by Adriana Romero as the Lady Roadrunners would go into the half facing a 5-0 deficit.

THE SECOND HALF
Dalton State would start the second period on the defensive with Martin Methodist looking to extend the lead further. Shots from Sugishita and Lily Fisk would go wide and high respectively, setting the Lady Roadrunners up with a scoring chance of their own. They would make the most of it with Yovanka Pineda knocking home a goal past Dumond to get on the scoreboard.

The four goal lead would get back to five in the 58' when Sunaga collected her second goal of the evening for a 6-1 lead. The Lady Red Hawk defense would tighten up from there as Martin Methodist would control the rest of the match and take the victory 6-1.

THE REST OF THE STORY
Dalton State ends the season (6-7-3 overall, 0-6-2 SSAC) with the loss, while #5 Martin Methodist (Tenn.) improves to (15-1-1 overall, 7-1 SSAC) with the win and will be the #2-seed in the upcoming SSAC tournament. Martin Methodist showed why they were one of the best teams in the country, out shooting Dalton State 21-5 (10-3). 

Yovanka Pineda collected her first goal of the season, with Sydnee Newton saved four shots while facing a barrage of Red Hawk shots all afternoon.
