Steve Zungul erupts for six goals, one shy of his MISL record, and adds an assist as the Tacoma Stars complete a 4-game road trip with a 9-7 win over at Kansas City in front of 12,520 at Kemper Arena. The Stars (17-4) pad their Western Division lead to 6 1/2 games over second-place San Diego and Wichita. Zungul, hobbled by groin and hip injuries all season, swells his season totals to 19 goals and 37 points. He had set the old Stars record of five goals last season. Zungul, 32, hits the six-goal mark for the third time in his career. Ironically, the explosion comes just five days after he hinted at retiring at the end of the year because of the nagging injuries.

Schefter's penalty with five seconds left in the first half opens the scoring. Teryn Allen levels matters for Lakeside in the 46th minute, but Schefter's 47th goal of the year wins it in the 66th minute. Lakeside (20-2-0) edged West Valley by an identical score in 2000.
