Kings improve Playoff Chances with win over Kansas, face Ohio on Saturday

Kings' Allen Eller was named PASL Player of the Week yesterday.

The Cincinnati Kings used a strong first half to defeat the Kansas Magic, 8-5 in PASL Eastern Division indoor soccer action Saturday night at the Cincinnati Gardens.

The Kings trailed in the first quarter off a goal by the Magic's player/coach, Randall Porter, six minutes into the game, but the Kings then rattled off seven unanswered goals to take a 7-1 lead by the half. Allen Eller, Xavier University's Sam Fiore and Nik Djokic each collected two goals, with Drew Ducker getting the remaining score in the half on a Kings power play for the seven-goal run.

The season's largest crowd of 1,604 saw the teams trade goals in the third quarter, with University of Cincinnati product Jeff Henderson scoring to give the Kings an 8-2 lead going into the fourth. The Magic closed the gap with three goals late, but the Kings held on for the 8-5 victory.

With the win, the Kings move into a tie with the Illinois Piasa for the fourth and final playoff position in the Eastern Division.
