Dallas Sidekicks score a franchise record 21 goals and are 5-0 with a win over Texas Strikers
The Sidekicks scored seven goals
during the fourth quarter, tying the franchise
record. Franck Mbemba put the team up
15-1 at 1:47. Renato Pereira got his second of the night at 2:30, and soon
after Mbemba completed his second hat trick in two games. The next goal came on
a powerplay at 5:24, Michael Uremovich also securing a hat trick. Uremovich
found himself celebrating once more just a few minutes later, scoring another
powerplay goal at 8:30. The third and fourth hat tricks of the night were
completed in the last few minutes of the game by Shaun David and Robert
Luevano, putting the Sidekicks up 21-1 and beating the team’s all-time scoring
record by three goals.
Uremovich was the first to strike
in the third quarter at 2:31, assisted by Ricardinho. Shortly after, Mbemba
scored his first of the night at 3:09, followed closely by an unassisted goal
from Deering at 4:10. Texas’ Jose Olabarrieta denied the Sidekicks a shutout at
14:12, but less than a minute later Ricardinho put the Sidekicks up 14-0,
breaking the team record for most goals scored through three quarters.

During halftime the Sidekicks honored one of their own, retiring the number 11 jersey of former player David Doyle. Doyle is the second leading Sidekicks point scorer (665) behind Head Coach Tatu. A five-time All-Star, Doyle logged 383 goals and scored 35 hat tricks in his tenure with the team from 1991 to 1994.
Scoring was rampant in the second quarter, Luevano scoring his second of the game assisted by Renato at 1:26. Just moments later, Deering used the wall to create his own rebound and put it in at 2:11. A succession of goals scored by David, Cody Ellis and Renato put the Sidekicks up 8-0. Sean Bellomy struck next at 12:31, followed by an unassisted goal from Uremovich at 14:07.
Jamie Lovegrove kicked off
scoring in the first quarter, putting a Renato rebound past Texas goaltender
Cory Speed at 2:21. David struck next at 12:24 assisted by Ricardinho. Luevano
put the Sidekicks up 3-0 at the end of the period, taking a shot off of Speed
and putting it into an empty net at 13:39.
The
team’s next home game is January 3 at the Allen Event Center, where they will
be taking on the Rio Grande Valley Flash.
