Collings singled twice and collected two RBI.

Elysha Agen and Dianne Gonzalez each had two singles for the Lions. Gonzalez drove in one of Saint Leo's two runs in the fourth after singling through the right side.

Ashton Whidden (0-1) picked up the loss for the Lions. She tossed 3.1, allowed five hits and three runs.
