WESTFIELD, IND. – Chandler Vaughn scored a goal and assisted on another as Saint Louis defeated the Xavier Musketeers, 3-1, on Friday at the Grand Park indoor complex. Mason Leeth and Simon Becher also scored for the Billikens.

It was the second win in a row for SLU, which improved to 4-1 on the season. Xavier dipped to 2-3 with the loss.

Vaughn gave the Billikens the lead early on. He one-timed a shot from the top of the box off a deflection for his first collegiate goal and a lead the Billikens would not relinquish.

Leeth made it 2-0 later in the first half. He headed home a ball from Patrick Wilkinson for his second tally of the year. The teams went into halftime with the Billikens leading 2-0.

Xavier got on the board early in the second half on a goal off a corner kick to make it 2-1.

That remained the score until late in the match before Becher put the game away. He broke in all alone after collecting a Vaughn pass for his second goal in as many games.

The Billikens return to action on Tuesday, March 2, when they host Columbia College (Mo.) at Hermann Stadium in a 6 p.m. first kick.
