DENVER (AP) -- Kansas City Wizards midfielder Preki made MLS history in the first half, becoming the first player with 50 goals and 50 assists in his career by recording his 50th MLS goal in a 1-1 tie with the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night.

The Wizards, who earned their second straight road tie, took the lead when Preki's shot from the right side of the box beat goalkeeper David Kramer up high in the 20th minute.

The Rapids tied it in the 66th minute, when Wes Hart's spectacular side volley shot spoiled Tony Meola's shutout bid. Colorado's Chris Martinez redirected an attempted clear by Brandon Prideaux to Hart, who was posted eight yards from the goal.

The tie ended a three-game losing streak for the Rapids (11-14-4, 37 points).

Kansas City (14-7-8, 50 points), leaders of the Western Division, clinched a playoff berth when Miami lost to D.C. United earlier Saturday.

The Rapids outshot the Wizards 17-10.
