Nick Lackey and Adam Smarte each scored goals as the Samba moved within one point of the first-place Sol.

Both goals were of the artistic variety with the first being set up by Mark Hogenhout who crossed the ball to Chris Bessemer who headed the ball to Lackey in the 40th minute.

The insurance goal came after Aaron Biddle dribbled around a couple of defenders before sending a through ball to Smarte, who chipped the ball over the goalie's head in the 61st minute.

The Samba (7-3-2) next play the Seattle Sounders in the U.S. Open Cup on June 29.
