Lions shut out again


The St Leo men capped off a three game home stand on Saturday night with a 1-0 loss to Rollins College. University Field has not been much of an advantage, with the Lions loosing all three matches of the home stretch and the last two have been shut outs.

Now to be fair, the Tars (8-0-1) are undefeated and ranked number fifteen in the country. Rollins has also outscored opponents 22-5 this season, so a 1-0 loss could be considered a moral victory for the Lions (3-4-0). St Leo did out shoot the visitors 12-10 and goalkeeper Erik Mozzo made three saves in the loosing cause.

The game was delayed for over an hour by severe weather and then interrupted late in the second half by a power outage. After the full ninety was played, however, St Leo was on the loosing end thanks to a forty-first minute goal by J. D. Gruenewald that secured the victory for Rollins.

The Lions will try to shake their loosing ways on Tuesday night with a short trip to St Petersburg to face conference foe, Eckerd. Game time is 7pm.
