Marcos Garcia had the first 3 goals for the Kings in the opening five minutes and recorded his 4th in the 25th minute. Unfortunatel, for him that type of effort was only rewarded with some rest on the bench for the remainder of the game. Angel Figueroa had 2 goals as well as CJ Carr, Terry Nichols and 2 from reserve Donal Landrum.
