KING'S AND KEYSTONE TIE 3-3 IN NIGHT TIME THRILLER
WILKES-BARRE -- Between the King's College Monarchs and the Giants of
Keystone College, there were three lead changes and three ties in the
3-3 double overtime thriller at King's College. With the tie, the
Monarchs' record now stands at 10-1-2 and Keystone is at 1-6-1.
With the game knotted at zero, Mark Timko
would find the goal at 20:45 when he took a run down the left side of
the field and forward Cameron Audette sent the ball over the defense for
Timko to handle and score the opening goal. Keystone would have to wait
twenty more minutes before Scott Bensinger scored an unassisted goal
after controlling a loose ball and slipping between two defenders. The
game would go into half time tied 1-1.
Keystone's Patrick Hulede would break the
tie at 65:01 after knocking the ball in with a chaotic situation in
front of King's net minder Tim Melber. King's would have to wait just
over a minute before Joe Bender sent Timko on another side-field run
allowing him to score his second goal of the night.
Brian McElroy would send Audette on deep
run up the middle of the field, allowing Audette to flick the ball in at
83:53, giving king's a 3-2 lead. Keystone forward Alex Boirand was
fouled in the penalty box and took advantage, putting the ball in the
top corner of the goal to tie the game for the third time at 3-3.
King's, who took two penalty kicks on the night, was unable to convert.
In the net, Melber was able to make four
saves on the night. King's held a 28-14 advantage in shots and 16-5 in
corners.
The Monarchs will be back in action this
Saturday, October 11 when they host the Devils of FDU-Florham. Game time
is set for 7:00pm.
