Also scoring for the Lions were Luke Baruch and Joe Guerin, who both had three goals, and Kyle Marceau, Mark Walczyk, and Evan Mills each added one goal.
The senior class has helped build up the Saint Leo lacrosse program, and they have had great success.
“I am proud of all of our seniors for helping to build a wining culture in such a young program. Their leadership and hard work has been the key to our rapid rise from a new program to an NCAA contender. Their careers have set the stage for not just this season’s successes, but the future prominence of this lacrosse program,” said Coach Jorgensen.
