Gainesville, FL – The Santa Fe Saints tightened their grasp on first place in the Mid-Florida Conference Thursday afternoon, defeating Daytona State College 2-1 in game one and 3-2 in game two.  The two wins helped SF (30-19, 17-5 MFC) remain in first place in the Mid-Florida Conference by one game over the College of Central Florida with two games to go.
