Leo Fragoso opened the scoring on an assist from Abdul Eliwa.
Carlos Henriquez, Eliwa, and freshman Alfredo Estrada also scored for the home team. It was the first career goal for Estrada.
The final goal of the match was bizarre.
David Austin carried the ball and unleashed a banger underneath the crossbar that struck the back support of the frame and bounced out.
A West Davidson player picked the ball up to roll it back to midfield (for the restart) and was subsequently whistled for a handball in the box. Salisbury was awarded a penalty kick because it was ruled (incorrectly) that the ball hit the crossbar and no goal was scored.
Austin converted the spot kick to keep his goal.
Salisbury got excellent play from Sam Goodman, Kevin Reyes and Taki Cook.
Salisbury (15-0-1, 8-0) plays at South Davidson on Monday at 6 p.m.
