SAINT LEO, Fla. – Two late goals by Florida Southern allowed the Moccasins to slither past the Saint Leo women's soccer team Saturday night at Unviersity Soccer Field.

Seven minutes into the first overtime, the Mocs found the back of the net again to walk out of Saint Leo with their first Sunshine State Conference win of the year.
