ANNAPOLIS, Md. –– The Navy swimming and diving teams will compete against Patriot League opponents for the first time this season on Saturday when the Mids travel to Lewisburg, Pa., to face American, Bucknell and Lafayette in a noon meet in Kinney Natatorium.

Navy Men (5-1), Navy Women (5-1)
Each Navy team heads to the Keystone State with identical 5-1 records on the year.  The programs raised their respective record to that level when they swept Johns Hopkins, Towson and William & Mary two weeks ago in Annapolis.  Both squads have also defeated UConn and UMBC and lost to LSU this year.

"Following a little break and a lot of solid training," said Navy women's swimming head coach John Morrison, "we are excited to get back to racing and competing this weekend at Bucknell, the host of this year's Patriot League Championship.  Doing so will help us prepare for our championship meet there in February.  We are looking forward to a great meet against three league teams."

"As the season continues to progress," said Navy men's swimming head coach Bill Roberts, "each meet becomes more and more important to the process of getting better and reaching our goals.  November is a fun but challenging time for our sport and we are excited to compete at Bucknell this weekend with our fellow Patriot League programs."

Navy swept the men's and women's meets when these same four teams met last year in Lewisburg.

American Men (0-4), American Women (3-1)
The American men's team has lost each of its four dual meets this season to VMI, Loyola, Howard and Manhattan.  The American women's team has posted a 3-1 record thus far this year, with the Eagles beating VMI, Howard and Manhattan and losing to Loyola.

Bucknell Men (0-2), Bucknell Women (3-0)
The Bucknell men have dropped each of their two dual meets of the season to Boston U. and Johns Hopkins.  The school's women's team has defeated both the Terriers and the Blue Jays and also has posted a victory over Richmond.

Lafayette Men (0-1), Lafayette Women (0-1)
The lone dual meet thus far this season for the Lafayette programs saw each lose to Loyola.
