SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo men’s soccer team is heading to Lakeland, Fla. tonight for a conference and regional showdown with Sunshine State Conference rival Florida Southern, in attempts to collect their first SSC victory.

The Lions come into tonight’s game with a 5-2 overall mark and a three-match winning streak over the Moccasins, including a 3-1 triumph over FSC last year at University Field. While trying to extend their winning streak over the Mocs, Saint Leo is also trying to rebound from of a 2-1 home loss, suffered at the hands of Tampa last Friday.

Game time is set for 7:00 p.m. and will be broadcast live on the Saint Leo Lions Audiocast Network. To listen to the game or view live stats, go to the ‘multimedia’ section of SaintLeoLions.com.
