Five Starting Notes
1 – Navy and Lehigh first met 111 seasons ago. That ranks second to Loyola (112 seasons) for the oldest first game against a Patriot League opponent in Navy history.  Additionally, this is the 51st season in which the teams will meet, which ranks fourth for the most seasons in which the Mids have played a league team. 
2 – The first game of the season saw the teams combine for 64 points scored in the paint. The Mids tallied 38 of those points and the Mountain Hawks scored 26.
3 – There were a combined 14 blocked shots in the first game, eight by Lehigh and six by Navy.
4 – Navy's six turnovers in the first game against Lehigh was a season low for the Mids.  Navy forced Lehigh into 14 turnovers.
5 – A victory by the Mids Wednesday would give Navy road wins over each of the Patriot League's three Pennsylvania schools (Bucknell, Lafayette, Lehigh) in the same season for the first time.
