KING’S WINS IN A HARD-NOSED GAME
WILKES-BARRE, PA—The
King’s College Men’s soccer team won their second game of the season, in
a hard hitting match up against Penn State Berks. Both teams came to
play today, scrapping for every free ball.
On the offensive side
of the ball, King’s dominated, taking 27 shots by nine different
Monarchs. Sophomore Dan Horn started off the shooting galley just four
minutes into the game. Horn received the ball deep in the penalty box
off a pass from forward Cameron Audette. The Berks goalie came out to
meet the ball and tripped Audette, who had just enough time to get the
pass to Horn who tapped the ball in.
King’s did not let up
the rest of the game, keeping possession of the ball for the majority of
the game. The shootout continued throughout the first half. Berks’
goalie Jonathan Martin kept the Nittany Lions in the game making several
brilliant saves. Unfortunately injury sidelined Martin for the rest of
the game.
Audette kicked things
off early in the second half with a breakaway goal, going one-on-one
with the backup goal keeper Austin Sevcik. Audette chipped the ball over
Sevcik for his first tally of the day. With just thirty-two seconds left
in the game, Audette split the defense once again on a great long ball
from freshman Joe Bender.
The Monarchs are on a
long road series, starting off with Baptist Bible College on September
3. Kickoff for that game is slated for 3:00pm. Their next home game will
be Tuesday, September 16 against SUNY-New Paltz at 4:00pm at the Betzler
Fields.
