Box Score PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. – The Saint Leo University Men's soccer team concluded a memorable, season opening road trip by taking down another nationally-ranked opponent Saturday night, defeating #24 University of West Florida 1-0 at Publix Sports Park.
 
While the Green & Gold (2-0) were outshot 12-8 by the Argonauts (1-1), both sides had only one shot on goal apiece, where Graduate Goalkeeper Ricardo Ceballos made his lone save of the night.
 
Once again, the Lions scored the deciding goal in the first half at the 31-minute mark, as Senior Tyler Velazquez buried the lower left shot 19 yards out from the setup made by Junior Lucas Mastroguiseppe.
 
The second half was a defensive showdown, with both teams combining for seven shots.
 
"The players earned everything they got this weekend" said Assistant Coach Nick Sakiewicz after the game.  "Unbelievable work ethic and focus to capture two big wins against very good teams.  We will make sure we refocus this week and keep our momentum going!"
