Knights take down Kiona-Benton on senior night

ROYAL CITY — Missing three starters due to injuries, the Royal Knights put up a strong defensive performance in Tuesday night’s regular season finale against Kiona-Benton, defeating the Bears 1-0 while posting their eighth clean sheet of the season. Sophomore Maggie Frank scored the lone goal of the match, connecting on a long shot early in the second half. “For us, coming into this, we’ve got to find a way to win and be difficult to beat, and hope that something goes your way – you get a corner, you get a free kick, you get a wonder goal from Maggie (Frank),” Royal head coach Jens Jensen said. “That’s what we got today, we were fortunate.”
