SAINT LEO, Fla. – The 10th-ranked Saint Leo men's soccer team captured its first Sunshine State Conference win with a 1-0 victory over the defending National Champions Lynn University on Tuesday night at University Field and advanced to a record of 7-1 and 1-0 in conference play.
Scoring the lone goal in the matchup for the Lions in the 42nd minute was Josh Davis as he found time and space for the 18 yard strike, off the far post and into the back of the net. Lions' goaltender Manuel Schoenhuber completed the match with a clean sheet and five saves.
As Lynn (4-4-1, 1-1 SSC) dominated the shot category with a difference of 16-5, the Lions defense was superb as they kept the ball from touching the back of the net.
