The Tropics improved to 13-1, best in the Eastern Conference, while San Diego fell to 11-4, second in the Major Arena Soccer League’s west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Clare added two goals, while Gordy Gurson \u2013 who had two pretty assists on both Clare goals \u2013 added a goal of his own. Anthony Arico and Drew Ruggles added the other Florida goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tropics best penalty-kill unit in the league played a large role as well, killing three San Diego man advantage chances in the first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sockers, who got three sixth-attacker goals to make it respectable in the end after falling down 8-2, got two goals from Cesar Cerda, and singletons from Brandon Escoto, Hiram Ruiz and Taylor Walter Bond. It was the Sockers fourth game in six nights, and the end of a six-game road trip for San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugo Silva remained perfect in goal, improving to 8-0. He came into the game as the goals-against average leader in the league. Parreiras, with his three goals, now is two points away from becoming the Tropics all-time leading scorer with 97 points, one behind Ricardo Diegues who played three years with Florida before signing this past offseason with Utica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
