ST. CHARLES, Mo. The Kansas City Comets completed a season sweep of their cross-state rivals, the St Louis Ambush, Saturday night and everyone got in on the act. <\/p>\n
Seven different players scored with Vahid Assadpour, Guerrero Pino and Lucas Rodriguez each collecting two goals and Assadpour adding two assists in a convincing 10-4 victory that extended the Comets winning streak to seven games. <\/p>\n
With four games left in the regular season, the 12-4 Comets now hold a one-game lead over the Cedar Rapids Rampage (11-5) in the Major Arena Soccer Leagues Central Division. <\/p>\n
The Comets return to the Silverstein Eye Centers Arena at 7:05 p.m. Saturday to take on the Dallas Sidekicks. <\/p>\n
Midway through the first quarter Saturday, Rodriguez scored off a John Sosa textbook restart from the top of the arc for the only goal of the opening quarter. <\/p>\n
Pino scored his first goal 40 seconds into the second quarter, opening the floodgates as the Comets took a 8-1 lead into the fourth period. Pino added a second goal, Assadpour scored both of his goals and Brian Harris, Sosa and Ignacio Flores each added a goal in that stretch to make it 8-0. <\/p>\n
St. Louis elected to play the entire final period with the sixth attacker to pressure the Comets defense. After an empty-net goal by Odaine Sinclair, Victor France scored two goals and Joao Pepe scored another to cut the Comets lead to 9-4 with five minutes to play. <\/p>\n
Rodriguez added an empty net goal at the 12:27 mark of the fourth to secure the victory. <\/p>\n
Assadpour and Sosa also finished with two assists each. Comets goalkeeper Stephen Paterson finished with seven saves. <\/p>\n
