ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The Army men's soccer team saw its modest two-game win streak snapped on Saturday evening as the Black Knights dropped a 1-0 decision to Navy in a Patriot League contest at the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility.

Guy Skord put Navy (4-4-3, 1-0-1 PL) on top in the 16th minute when he converted a cross from Alex Wilson. Aaron Dupere (4-3-3) stopped the only shot he faced to make the Mids' early goal stand up.

Navy controlled the play in the first half, outshooting Army by a 9-0 margin and holding a 4-0 edge in corner kicks.

The Black Knights (4-6-0, 1-1-0 PL) responded in the second half, outshooting the Midshipmen 4-2 and enjoying a 7-2 advantage in corner kicks. Five of Army's second half corner kicks came in the final 15 minutes, but the Black Knights were unable to push across the equalizer.

Junior Trent Brown paced the Army attack with a team-high two shots. Freshman Sean-Michael Alvarez was credited with the Black Knights' lone shot on goal.

Skord led Navy's offense with a game-high three shots. Nick Dubee and Sam Miller each attempted two shots in the match.

Army freshman goalkeeper John Marinelli (4-6-0) recorded five saves in the losing effort.

Army returns to the friendly confines of Clinton Field on Wednesday, Oct. 5, when the Black Knights take a brief respite from their Patriot League schedule to face Hartford in a non-conference match. Kickoff for the contest, which will be streamed live on the internet via ITT Knight Vision (www.goARMYsports.com), is slated for 7 p.m.

Match Notes: Army falls to 27-38-13 all-time versus Navy ... the Midshipmen have defeated the Black Knights by identical 1-0 scores in each of the last three seasons ... in other Patriot League action, American defeated Bucknell, 2-1, Lafayette blanked Holy Cross, 2-0, and Colgate and Lehigh played to a scoreless draw.
