Armstrong Atlantic State University at St Leo women

When: Tonight, 7pm

Where: University Field, St Leo Campus

The Lions will try to get their season back on track tonight and by back on track. I don't mean they are on a losing streak, but after their opener was called midway through due to weather and then two matches cancelled due to a flu complications in the St Leo squad, the Lions will be anxious to get a game into the books, win, lose, or draw.

St. Leo (0-0-0) will come into today's match lacking game form against an opponent that is ranked number 23 in the latest NSCAA Division II poll. The Pirates (3-1-0) started the season with a two game winning streak, having outscored their opposition 11-0 during that run. They then fell to Florida Tech 2-0 before rebounding against Catawba on the weekend.

Senior forward Kristin Burton leads the Pirates in scoring with five goals and two assists. Burton is from Ocala, which isn't too far down the road from St Leo, so this will be a bit of a homecoming for her. Armstrong Atlantic has out shot its opponents a total of 68-37.

This match will be critical for St Leo to develop momentum as it approaches the Sunshine State Conference portion of its schedule. The Lions have just one other game before the meet their first conference foe, Eckerd, on September 19th. St Leo was the preseason selection to win the conference title and oddly enough received votes in the latest NSCAA poll, despite not having a result in the books.

The last time these schools met was in 2005 when the Lions won 5-2 at home.
