Harris kicked the ball back out to a Rodrigues who juked a move on UCA goalkeeper Ernesto Pena before he blasted the ball into the net.
"The defender bit outside and I took him in and played the ball to Harris. [When he got it back] I took the ball with conviction," Rodrigues said about his first tally of the season. "We work on that a lot in practice. We put emphasis on those kinds of drills."
The Kangaroos added a third strike at the 72:25 mark, when freshman midfielder Sean Butler found the back of the net for his second tally of the year.
Butler's shot went near post to put the game on ice for UMKC. Freshman forward Diego Rojas picked up the co-assist along with Bryan Perez.
UCA's Zach Burns would get the Bears lone score on the afternoon on an assist for Jordan Prescott. Burns was able to find the lose ball amid a tangle of players in the penalty area and put a shot past Cooper.
The matchup was the third between UMKC and UCA. The Kangaroos lead the series 3-0.
The Roos registered seven shots on goal on 15 shots total during the contest while the Bears fired five within range out of a total of 12.
The UMKC men's soccer team will face a tough conference foe on Senior Day for their final Summit League home game this year.
Saturday, Oct. 25, the Kangaroos will take on Oral Roberts University at Bourke Field on the campus of Rockhurst University. Kick off is scheduled for 1 p.m.
