The scoreline was built across both halves, with Monson reportedly scoring twice before the interval and twice after it. Caleb Becker opened his seasonal account, while Bryce Allsop, Niko Matthieu and Isaac Somers also found the net.
That distribution matters. Monson did not rely on one scorer to decide the contest; four players contributed goals, while James Bridges and Jackson Pignone supplied an assist each. The report also credits Monson with 24 shots on target, a volume that underlines how consistently they tested Ware’s defence.
Ware goalkeeper Mason Gagne reportedly made 13 saves, an individual workload that reflects the pressure his team faced. Even with those interventions, Ware could not keep Monson out or create a response at the other end.
The defensive contrast was decisive. Murphy is reported to have made five saves for Monson, but the clean sheet also points to a back line that limited Ware’s opportunities. A team can survive sustained pressure when its goalkeeper is protected; Monson appear to have managed that balance better.
Ware’s search for a first win continues against Commerce on Thursday at 19:00. Another shutout would be a major step forward, but the immediate priority is generating enough attacking threat to avoid another scoreless outing.
Monson face Pathfinder Tech on Friday at 19:00, with the chance to build on their improved record. The key storyline will be whether their scoring variety carries into the next fixture or whether this four-goal performance proves a one-night surge.
