KING'S MEN'S SOCCER REGISTERS 5-0 WIN OVER
MARYWOOD
WILKES-BARRE -- Freshman Dan Mortenson recorded
three goals and junior Cameron Audette added one goal and two assists to
lead the King's College men's soccer team with a 5-0 victory over
visiting Marywood University Wednesday at Betzler Fields.
With its first victory of the year, King's improved to 1-4 on the year
while Marywood slipped to 1-4.
The Monarchs would take a 1-0 with 34:55 remaining in the first half
when Mortenson scored off a header following a crossing pass by Grant
Parsons. King's would add its second goal when Audette made good on a
penalty kick with 17:53 left in the opening stanza.
King's would stretch the lead to 3-0 when Mortenson scored off a pair of
touch passes in the box from Audette and Mark Timko with 14:48 remaining
in the contest. The Monarchs scored their next goal on a bizarre play
when Pacer goalie Danny Reynolds came far out of the net to challenge a
free ball. King's Grant Parsons attempted a shot which caromed off of
Reynolds high into the air and back towards the Marywood goal. King's
freshman Andrew Ciemieki would direct the ball into the Pacer goal for a
4-0 Monarch lead with 12:15 remaining. King's would register its final
goal when Mortenson converted a cross from Audette with 9:30 on the
clock.
King's held an 11-10 lead in shots while also owning an 8-3 advantage in
corner kicks.
Monarch goalie John McNichol made six saves while Reynolds stopped five
shots for the Pacers.
King's returns to action Saturday when the Monarchs travel to
Selinsgrove to face Susquehanna University in a 1:00 p.m. contest.
