LATE START FOR SOCKERS

Starting on December 16, the Sockers will be the last team to begin play this season. Each MASL team will have played at least one game before San Diego starts the season in MASL game #28.

Kraig Chiles' power play goal at 5:06 of the fourth quarter snapped a 3-3 tie, and Cesar Cerda added an empty-netter from beyond midfield as the 14-time champion San Diego Sockers defeated the Dallas Sidekicks 5-3 in a Major Arena Soccer League preseason match at the Allen Event Center. Boris Pardo made eight saves in net to preserve the victory in San Diego's lone preseason contest.

Chiles tallied the game- winning goal and added one assist to be named the #1 Star.

Entrenched as the #1 keeper, Pardo made eight saves against Dallas to earn the victory.

Escoto opened the scoring for San Diego with a goal at 1:39 of the 2nd period.
