An early goal for Westwood proved to be more than enough for the win on Monday as the Lady Rockets dropped Fayetteville 3 to 0 in a home conference match.  A first half goal by Brittney Hernandez and second half goals from Faith Willoughby and Anna Johnson powered Westwood to the conference win.

Hernandez opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a goal as Westwood’s offense controlled the time of possession.  Westwood keeper Anna Coker did not face a shot on frame in the first half as the Lady Rockets took the fight to the visiting Lady Tigers.  In the second half, Willoughby connected on a penalty kick and Johnson added Westwood’s 3rd goal in the 43rd minute.  Coker finished the night with a pair of saves.  The win improves the Lady Rockets record to 2 and 3 overall and 2 and 1 in conference play.

The Lady Rockets are back in action on Tuesday night when they play host to Community in a 5 PM contest.  Thunder Radio will be on hand to bring you the broadcast as part of our 1st National Bank Hometown Sports Series.    We begin with the pregame show at 4:50 PM.
