Central pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 22 goals over those five matchups. As for Okeechobee, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 3-3.
