Monarchs Win Third In A Row

Southaven MS- The Monarchs were back in action once again against the Baton Rouge Kingfish at the Landers Center. Mid-South was searching for its third straight victory and second consecutive win on home ice.

The first period was a tight affair, as neither goaltender, Tommy Nappier nor Anthony Seykora, would budge. The game remained scoreless heading into the second period.

The second period got off to a quick start when Tyler Williams scored for the Kingfish, giving them a 1–0 lead. Mid-South quickly responded when A.J. Basich scored his second goal in as many nights to knot the game at one. Anthony Seykora would leave the game with an injury late in the second period.  The score remained tied as the game headed into the third period.

The third period belonged to Darion Benchich, who scored twice to put the Monarchs ahead by two. The Kingfish fought back when Scott Shorrock pulled them within one. However, their efforts fell short as Mid-South claimed the 3–2 victory.

Tommy Nappier was stellar once again, stopping 41 of the 43 shots he faced to earn his second straight victory. Meanwhile, the Kingfish goaltenders, Anthony Seykora and Ed Coffey, combined to stop 23 of the 26 shots they faced.

The Mid-South Monarchs head back on the road tomorrow to take on the Kingfish in Baton Rouge at 4:05 p.m. The game will be streamed live on the Monarchs’ YouTube channel.
