BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Lehigh heads to Annapolis on Friday afternoon as the Mountain Hawks take on the No. 7 Navy Midshipmen in a Patriot League showdown.  Lehigh was last in action on March 18, when the Brown and White downed Vermont 11-7 in Albany, N.Y. behind four goals from Stephen Marino.  Navy meanwhile was upset by league foe Colgate 6-3 in Hamilton, N.Y. on that very same day.  Lehigh has not beaten the Midshipmen since way back in 1913, picking up a 4-3 decision that day.  The Mids have won 22 of the 23 all-time meetings between these schools, including all three in Patriot League play (two regular season, one tournament). 

 

Lehigh’s 6.14 goals against average this season is on pace to be its lowest since the inception of Patriot League play.  The lowest GAA the Mountain Hawks have had under Chris Wakely was 8.35 in 2005.

 

Friday’s game is scheduled to begin at 4:00 from Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.  The contest will be broadcast live on lehighsports.com with streaming powered by Yahoo! Sports.  Jeff Tourial and Steve Lomangino will handle the broadcast duties.
