Meanwhile, Rootstown entered their tilt with Kirtland on Saturday with two consecutive wins but they'll face United with three. They were the clear victors by a 5-1 margin over the Hornets. Rootstown might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 10 matches by three goals or more this season.
