Salinas notched all 4 of his tallies in the first half on the muddy and sloppy pitch in Wartrace. Leo Basurto scored 2 assists as the Rockets got the big conference win. Keeper Cailan McLean had 5 saves on the match as Coach Jonathan Graf was complimentary of his defensive and midfield play in the wet conditions. Samuel Workman, Renato Ayala, Jalen Shelton, Eric Randolph and Angel Gonzales all tallied scores for Westwood.
The Rockets will also be on the road on Thursday as they travel to Fayetteville to take on Lincoln County. The Rockets host their first home game on Tuesday, March 1st when St. Andrews visits Dyer-Bouldin Field for a 4:30 PM contest.
