KING'S SOCCER DOWNS NEUMANN, 3-0

WILKES-BARRE -- The King's College men's soccer team broke open a scoreless game with three second-half goals as the Monarchs posted a 3-0 victory over Neumann College Monday at Betzler Fields.

With the win, the Monarchs improved to 2-5 on the year while snapping a four-game losing streak.

After a scoreless first half, King's would get on the board when Jordan Miller (left) would convert a beautiful lead pass by Brian McElroy at 56:52. The Monarchs would add to the lead when Brandon Heller stole a pass, beat a pair of Neumann defenders, and drilled a shot past Knight goalie Josh Williams to give King's a 2-0 lead with 5:40 left in the contest.

The Monarchs would add an insurance goal with 1:36 left when Grant Parsons scored off an assist by Cameron Audette.

Neumann outshot King's 15-11 and held a 8-7 advantage in corner kicks. Monarch sophomore goalie Mike Conroy (left) was solid in his first collegiate start, making six saves to post the first shutout of his career.

King's will host local rival University of Scranton Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. at Betzler Fields.
