From staff reports

Salisbury’s soccer team concluded the regular season with a 4-0 Central Carolina Conference victory at South Rowan on Wednesday.

Salisbury got two goals from Tony Figueroa (one night removed from being unable to play due to injury) and one  each from Luke Holland and Danny Tinajero.  It was Tinajero’s first goal of the season.

Jack Fisher had all three assists recorded by the Hornets.

The defense of Tinajero, Fisher, Pedro Cruz, Will Austin  and keeper Josh Faulkner combined for the shutout in goal.

Salisbury got excellent play from Greg Beltran.

SHS finishes 13-6-2 overall and 12-5-1 in the CCC after a 1-5-1 start.

Next up is the waiting game for Salisbury. Playoff brackets will be released on Monday.

Salisbury finished fourth (the top three get automatic berths) in the CCC but is certain to be a wild-card team in the playoff bracket. That means the Hornets will be on the road in the first round.

Unofficial brackets project Salisbury as the No. 21 seed.
