The Mids are playing their second of four straight home games at the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility. Navy battled Holy Cross to a 1-1 double-overtime draw on Saturday to remain unbeaten on its home pitch this season at 1-0-2.
The game against Holy Cross was also Navy's fourth straight overtime contest and its fifth overall overtime game of 2016.

Navy junior goalkeeper Mac Burke made seven saves against Holy Cross on Saturday. Burke ranks second in the Patriot League in both goals-against average (1.02) and save percentage (.797) in his first season as a starter.
