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 15^th 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 3^rd goal in the 43^rd 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.
