KING’S BLANKS GREEN MOUNTAIN
WILKES-BARRE, PA—As far
as season openers go, this one was perfect. The King’s College Monarch’s
blanked visiting Green Mountain in a lopsided match, 7-0.
The Monarch’s scored
just thirteen minutes into the game when junior Patrick McCarthy tucked
a header under the cross bar off a throw from defender
Kevin Moulton. A few minutes later, Brian McElroy sent senior Ryan
Symons on a run up the middle. Symons turned and fired the ball past the Green
Mountain net minder.
Stand-out forward Cameron Audette scored his first
goal off a centering pass from midfielder Dan Horn. Joe Bender rounded
out the first half action with a goal, taking a run and handling a pass
from Audette to score.
Audette came out of
halftime and set the pace once again. He buried his second goal, banging
the shot off the underside of the cross bar and over the out stretched
hands of Green Mountain keeper Ryan Ritchie. Cameron handled the pass from
Horn, who tallied his second assist of the day.
Horn would then read a great cross from
defender Paul Racz and scored a
diving header. Senior Mike Buckwash also scored on a header, coming
from the foot of sophomore Sam Cressler on a set play.
The Monarch’s are back
in action again Sunday against the visiting Nittany Lions
of Penn States Berks. Kick-off is set for 3:30pm.
