For the fifth time in the six matches of the A10 Men’s Soccer Tournament thus far, neither team scored in the first half. Lucas Beltran made one save for Davidson in the opening half, while SLU goalkeeper Lucas McPartlin needed just one save through 45 minutes as well.
 
Saint Louis broke the stalemate in the 61st minute. Sophomore Kai Jaeger delivered a quality pass to Torres in the middle of the penalty box ,and Torres finished the goal on the second attempt after an initial save by Beltran.
 
Davidson nearly evened the match in the 79th minute on a header from first team all-conference defender Brady McGlone, but McPartlin made a diving effort to knock it away using one outstretched hand.
 
Saint Louis finished the match with six shots and three shots on goal, while Davidson recorded 10 shots but just two on target.
 
Saint Louis will now have the chance to defend its A10 Tournament title on Saturday, hosting No. 6 seed Fordham in the tournament final at 4 p.m. CT.
