KING'S WOMEN'S SOCCER PLAYS WELL, FALLS TO LEB-VAL 3-1

WILKES-BARRE -- Lebanon Valley struck twice in the second half to open up a game that was 1-0 going in to half time, and held on for the 3-1 win over King's. The Flying Dutchwomen improve to 6-3-1, while the Lady Monarchs fall to 1-8-1.

Leb-Val struck first at 5:19 when Erin McGarvey found herself on a breakaway with Monarch goalie Rachel Donatiello. McGarvey was able to chip the ball over a diving Donatiello. Solid defensive would send King's into half time down just one goal.

The Dutchmen would strike again at the start of the second half when midfielder Lauren King beat Donatiello, who came out of the goal, and put the ball in the net at 47:31 for a 2-0 Dutchwomen lead. The Monarch defense would hold solid again for 30 minutes before Lebanon Valley's Ely Kirkhoff was able to sail the ball over Donatiello's head for their final goal of the match at 74:23.

King's would get on the board when Megan Inama was able to convert a rebound into a goal at 75:56 and help keep the Monarchs alive until the final horn of the game.

Lebanon Valley held a slight 11-9 shot advantage over the Lady Monarchs, and 4-2 in corners. Donatiello was able to make four saves on the night.
