The Dallas Burn returned from Chile this morning after going 4-0-1 during their two-week stint in Chile. As a result, the team's overall preseason record now stands at 9-2-2.

In the three games in which he played in Chile, Kreis tallied eight goals and overall in the preseason matches has notched an amazing 13 goals. Bruno Franca increased the lead to 3-1 in the 71st minute and Ronnie O'Brien, seeing his first action since suffering a stress fracture in his heel two weeks ago, added an insurance goal in the 88th minute. The team is off until Monday, when they will resume training at Blue Sky Sports Center in The Colony.
