SAINT LEO, Fla. – Record-breaking performances from two of the Lion’s most proficient offensive players highlighted the No. 15 Saint Leo men’s Lacrosse victory on Saturday afternoon as they took down visiting Adams State, 17-7.
Both Jake Gilmour and Dylan Yonts set single season records on Saturday.
