WILKES-BARRE -- After playing its first five games of the year on the

King's opened the scoring at 23:15 of the first half when Jordan Miller

long punt from King's keeper Danny Roth. Ricky Branco gave King's a 3-0
lead when he scored off an assist from Miller with 11:20 remaining in
the opening half.
Keystone would get on the board early in the second half when Mamoudou
Camara scored unassisted just 3:15 into the final stanza. The Monarchs
responded when Brett Shipe scored back-to-back goals off assists from
Jim McMichael and Mark Wallis to extend the lead to 5-1 with 17:38 left
in the game. King's freshman Cameron Audette would score unassisted with
16:57 remaining before Miller scored his third goal off Wallis's second
assist of the day with 12:37 left.
