ST. LOUIS — Saint Louis University men’s soccer advanced to the Atlantic 10 Tournament final Tuesday with a 1-0 semifinal victory over Davidson at Hermann Stadium.
Axel Torres scored in the 61st minute, and goalkeeper Mason McPartlin made two saves to preserve the shutout, according to SLU Athletics. The Billikens controlled the decisive stretch without allowing Davidson to find an equalizer.
Saint Louis will face Fordham in the conference championship match at 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, at Hermann Stadium. The home final gives local supporters an opportunity to attend, though fans should confirm tickets and entry information through the university before traveling.
The championship result will determine the conference’s automatic NCAA Tournament berth. That raises the stakes for a SLU team that has navigated the elimination rounds while protecting its home field.
Tuesday’s semifinal was decided by one finish and a clean defensive performance. In a final, the Billikens will need to manage the same narrow margins: set pieces, second balls and mistakes near either penalty area can change a match quickly.
VOTP News STL confirmed the score, goal time, goalkeeper saves and final schedule through the university’s official athletics report. Any schedule change should be reflected on the team page.
