ST. LOUIS – Diego Konincks scored in the 85th minute to propel Saint Louis to a thrilling 1-0 victory over La Salle in Atlantic 10 Conference men's soccer action Saturday night at Robert R. Hermann Stadium.

SLU, which extended its unbeaten streak to seven, remains in first place in the league standings and moves to 6-3-2 overall and 4-0-1. La Salle falls to 4-5-3 and 1-2-2 in the league.

The game-winning goal came after the first red card issued to La Salle. Another Explorer was issued a red later.
