The Monarchs (1-4) opened the second quarter with two straight scores before Joe Olives halted the visitors' momentum with a marker off a Garman find with 1:31 left before halftime.

LVC picked up where it left off after the break as Matt Torrence got into the scoring act less than two minutes into the third quarter before Olives buried his second of the day, a man-up marker, off another Landon look. Mason Hoff fired home an unassisted goal at the 1:24 mark, while King's only sign of life came when Kyle Wilk found twine with 56 seconds left in the period.

The Dutchmen took an 8-3 advantage into the final quarter and didn't let up as Brett Kudlak scored twice in the fourth, bookending Warmingham's unassisted goal off finds from Garman and Beaver.
