No Place Like Home
The Mids have posted an impressive 20-10-15 mark at the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility since the start of the 2021 season … Navy has outscored opponents, 63-39, in those 45 games … Head coach Tim O'Donohue is 39-25-20 in his career at Glenn Warner … Senior Andrew Schug has seven goals and two assists in 27 career home games, while fellow senior A.J. Schuetz has tallied five goals and one assist at home over 28 career games at the GWSF.
 
Last Time Out
Despite a strong second-half push, Navy could not overcome a lapse late in the first half of Saturday afternoon's 1-0 loss to Boston University at Nickerson Field in Boston, Mass. … While senior goalkeeper Robert Eaton kept the Mids in the game multiple times with his five-save contest, a goal by Andrea Di Blasio at 35' off a blocked shot proved to be the deciding factor in the Terriers' third-straight victory over the Mids … Dueling with Eaton's five saves on the other end, William Clavier ended the day with a three-save shutout … Eaton has now registered four-or-more saves in four-straight contests.

Schuetz records a point, while Navy has tallied a 5-1-3 mark when Andrew Schug scores … Navy is also 2-1-1 when Wyatt Stevens nets a goal … With Will Cawlfield's tally against William & Mary, Navy needs one other rookie to register a goal to have multiple freshmen score in a season for the first time since the fall 2020/spring 2021 campaign, when both David Jackson and Baba Kallie scored as plebes … Only two non-senior goalkeepers have started a game in net for Navy since 2019: Pierce Holbrook (2022, 2023) and Dylan Carmody (2025).
