Wolfpack senior Chad Schmidt scored on a 29-yard touchdown run with 2:24 remaining to help Pac-Five (1-4) end a 12-game losing streak to the Monarchs (2-4) dating back to 2012 with a 19-7 victory.

Fellow senior Joshua Arcayena finished with 139 yards on 25 carries and tied the game with a 5-yard TD run in the second quarter.

Pac-Five’s Cameron Cintron scored on a 31-yard fumble return later in the second quarter to give the Wolfpack a 13-7 halftime lead.
