The Comets scored twice in the final 10 minutes of play to turn a 2-1 halftime lead into a 4-1 victory, lifting their record to 9-5 overall while Perry fell to a combined 8-5.
The guests found the net in the 21st minute to open the scoring, but Jaqueline Guardado converted a Cris Gomez pass into a tying score three minutes later. North Polk cashed in on an attack with just over two minutes left in the opening half to take a 2-1 lead into the break.
Perry was unable to mount much of an offensive attack after the intermission, with North Polk goals in the 71st and 73rd minutes capping the scoring.
Selena Garcia had seven saves in goal for the hosts.
The Perry junior varsity went without a shot on goal for, unofficially, the seventh time this season in dropping a 3-0 contest. Katelyn Jaimes made eight saves for the Jayettes.
