lacrosse finalists.<br \/>\nIn a league that has annually seen St. Andrew\u2019s do battle with St. Michael\u2019s College of Toronto for the lacrosse title, Upper Canada College surprise SAC with a 15 \u2013 7 win to open the season in late April, before the Saints bowed to St. Michael\u2019s 11 \u2013 6 in week two.<br \/>\nThe Saints got the better of Upper Canada last Friday, beating the Blues 7 \u2013 4 in an uncommonly low-scoring game, switching to a defensive system they will be looking to emulate when they meet UCC in this weekend\u2019s CISAA semifinal.<br \/>\nThe varsity Saints reached last year\u2019s final before bowing out to St. Michael\u2019s 10 \u2013 7, a rematch of the 2016 final that saw the Saints earn their first Independent league title since 2009.<br \/>\nThe Under-14 Saints squad had their season ended by Upper Canada in last Wednesday\u2019s league semifinal, falling on the road by a score of 10 \u2013 5.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button
