Despite missing several players due to illness and injury, Monument started the season strong. With a solid defensive effort from Bobby Kinne and Eitan Kiin, the team gave up few chances to Pittsfield. Monument possessed the ball well through the midfield. Newcomers Rowan Myers and Emil Ghitman-Gilkes added to the offensive attack and Ace McAlister was twice able to connect with Nick Masiero for two late first half goals.
