TULSA – Tulsa Athletic dominated possession and totaled four goals to cruise to a 4-0 victory over Arkansas Comets on Saturday (Sept. 21) at Athletic Community Field at Hicks Park.

Later in the half, Gustavo Vargas hit the crossbar on a header off a corner kick in the 42nd minute of action. 

Harris got in on the scoring right before halftime with an incredible goal in the 44th minute to make it 2-0. 

Carrasco upped the advantage to 3-0 in the 70th minute with his strike from his left foot to the left corner of the goal. 

Harris added his second goal late in the contest in the 86th minute for the final 4-0 margin.
