WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point Men's Soccer conceded twice in the second half to lose a lead, and the match Saturday night against the Lehigh Mountain Hawks, 3-2 on Saturday night.

The opening six minutes featured a pair of free kick goals; one from each squad. After the visitors drew first blood in the 4', Ronald Zhai recorded his second goal of the year in the 6'.
Army went ahead 2-1 in the 54', when Jack Kryger finished a ball in the six-yard box deflected by Miles Hadley for his first career goal.
