Senior midfielder Emily Denaga scored two goals, including one free-position make, and junior attacker Xan Hill added a goal in the effort. BC goalkeeper Kyla Smith-Fondall totaled 19 saves. Kelsey Hamrick won a team-high four draw controls, and first-year Tornado Jayden Rahdert logged two ground balls and a caused turnover in her collegiate debut.
 
The Monarchs kicked things off with six unanswered goals in the first period before doubling their advantage, 12-0, at the halftime intermission. BC would answer with three goals in the second half, but Methodist scored seven to put the contest away.
 
Methodist's high-powered offense was propelled by Mikayla Ramos, who scored five goals with four assists for nine points. Maddie Hagler notched a hat trick, while five other Monarchs scored two goals apiece and eight Methodist players scored in the game.
