After generating several opportunities early, the Kings opened up the scoring with an outstanding build up that resulted in Javion Dearing assisting Adis Ravmonovski.

With 1:55 left to play, Brady Kurtz played Adis in for his 6th goal of the season, and a 2-1 game winner for the River Kings. Adis was selected as the Man of the Match. The Kings are back in action on 4/30 when they host Davenport North.
