The Rockets (4-3, 4-2 SC) led 16-1 at the end of the first quarter and 26-12 at the half.

“We had momentum from the get-go and tried some different looks as the game progressed,” Rockets’ coach Scott Goodacre said. “We had 28 rebounds, 12 assists and 14 steals as a team. Good team effort.”

Cecilia Pilon added nine points, while Mya Paulin chipped in six points and nine rebounds.

“(Mya) really stepped up tonight,” coach Goodacre said. “She played tough defense for us all night.”
