Jonathan Cortez added another shot on goal in the 58th minute, while Matthew Gandarillas put King's final attempt on target in the 86th minute.

Oneonta added three more goals in the second half, including two in the final 30 minutes. A foul on Jackson Nuttall inside the box set up a penalty kick in the 90th minute, which completed the scoring at 7-0.

Ben Van Valkenburg made one save in the first half for the Monarchs before Shane Hughes made four saves in the second half. King's finished with three shots and three shots on goal, while Oneonta recorded 19 shots and 12 shots on goal.

The Monarchs return home Wednesday night when King's welcomes crosstown rival Wilkes University to McCarthy Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
