MONROE OFFENSE ERUPTS IN 9–6 IN HOME OPENER THRILLER OVER BILOXI

MONROE, LA The Monroe Moccasins opened the 2025–26 season with a bang Saturday night, riding an explosive first period and late surge to a 9–6 victory over the Biloxi Breakers at the Monroe Civic Center.

Monroe came flying out of the gate, erupting for five goals in the first period to take full control early. Parker Moskal opened the scoring just 2:36 into the game before the Moccasins poured it on with tallies from Christopher Rex Moe, Andrew Bellant and Sam Turner. The offensive pressure chased Biloxi goaltender Josh Rosenzweig, who was pulled after surrendering four goals in the opening frame.

The Breakers battled back in the second and third period, cutting into the lead with timely goals before exploding for four in the final period to pull within one 6-5.

The Moccasins refused to let their home opener slip away. Veteran forward Austin Albrecht broke the deadlock with just over six minutes remaining, sparking a late surge that saw Monroe strike three times down the stretch. Moskal and Moe each added insurance markers to cap off the night.

Monroe outshot Biloxi 53–25, which helped lead them to their first win of the season. Both teams will meet again on Halloween night at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum.
