ANNAPOLIS, Md. â€" The Navy men's soccer team (2-5-2, 0-2-0 PL) will play a Patriot League match at Lehigh (3-6-1, 0-2-0 PL) on Wednesday at 7:00 PM at the Ulrich Sports Complex. Both schools will be looking for their first league win of 2016. Free live video and live statistics will be available.

Navy is coming off a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss at Loyola on Saturday. Senior Sam Bascom scored the game's first goal in the 26th minute on a penalty kick, but Loyola tied the game in the 46th minute and then scored on a penalty kick of its own in the 93rd minute, just three minutes into the first overtime period.

Bascom scored his first goal of the 2016 season and the fifth of his career. He is Navy's active leader in career points with 18 (five goals, eight assists).

Sophomore Daniel Kwon is Navy's season leader in goals (2) and points (4). Kwon scored in Navy's games against Furman and Villanova earlier this season.

Junior goalkeeper Mac Burke ranks first in the Patriot League in goals-against average (0.95) and is second in save percentage (.813). Burke has shut out three opponents this season.

Navy holds a commanding 31-18-8 lead in the all-time series against the Mountain Hawks. Navy is 2-0-1 in its last three games against Lehigh.

Navy earned a 3-1 win against Lehigh on October 7 of last season in Annapolis. Sophomore Matt McCraith, junior Daniel Zaremba and 2016 graduate Jamie Dubyoski tallied the goals for the Mids.

Navy and Lehigh tied, 1-1, in 2014 with Bascom scoring for the Mids. Navy posted a 2-1 win over Lehigh in its 2013 historic season.

Lehigh has dropped both its Patriot League matches this season, falling to Holy Cross, 3-1, and Colgate, 1-0. Lehigh's last win was a 1-0 victory over Saint Francis U on Sept. 27 in a non-conference contest.

Sophomore forward Mark Forrest leads Lehigh and ranks fourth in the Patriot League in both points (11) and goals (4). Freshman goalkeeper Will Smith has drawn the last two starts for the Mountain Hawks and is 1-1 in those games with a 0.50 goals-against average and a .875 save percentage.

Longtime head coach Dean Koski is in his 25th season at Lehigh.

Navy will play its first Patriot League home game on Saturday at 12 noon against Holy Cross (5-5-0, 1-1-0, PL).
