\n\tThe Eagles are 14-9-4 against Navy all-time, defeating the Midshipmen 3-1 in Annapolis a season ago.\u00a0
\n\tCurrent seniors Troy Elgersma<\/a> and Sebastian Garces<\/a> both scored in the victory, contributing to a three-goal second half.\u00a0

\n\tAmerican is in first place in the Patriot League, clinching a top two spot in the conference tournament this past Friday after defeating Holy Cross 2-1 on the road. With a win over Navy on Tuesday, the Eagles will be the number one seed.
\n\tAU had a quality attacking night against Holy Cross, tying a season-high seven shots on goal and generating eight corners. They struck first after being awarded a penalty kick off a handball in the box, converted by Elgersma with 3:33 left in the first half.
\n\tAfter Holy Cross leveled the score in the 60th minute, Toshi Davis<\/a> provided the game-winning goal 13 minutes later. He raced to a rebound off a shot from Reyes Parra<\/a>, beating two defenders to the ball and driving his shot to the top of the net.
\n\tIt was the first goal of the year for Davis, earning him Patriot League Midfielder of the Week honors.\u00a0
\n\tThe Eagles had some heroic defensive plays in the win as well, with Oliver Snowdown and Finn O’Brien<\/a> both saving shots off the line during attacking sequences for the Crusaders.
\n\tGraduate senior Mustapha Sowe<\/a> leads the Eagles offensively, racking up 12 points on five goals and two assists. Elgersma follows behind him with four goals, while Garces has two goals and a team-leading four assists.\u00a0
\n\tThe Eagles have had a widespread attacking effort, with nine different goal scorers this year.\u00a0
\n\tSenior Matthew Tibbetts<\/a> has been reliable in goal, making 50 saves (fifth in the PL), holding a 1.07 GAA, and three clean sheets.\u00a0
\n\tAmerican is undefeated at home, posting a 5-0-1 record.\u00a0
<\/p>\n
\n\tNavy sits at the bottom of the Patriot League table, mathematically eliminated from postseason contention. The Midshipmen are coming off a 1-0 loss to Bucknell at home.\u00a0
\n\tNavy’s three ties in Patriot League play have come against Holy Cross, Loyola, and Lafayette. They earned the point against the Leopards in a dramatic finish, as Luke Parker scored with just 12 seconds remaining to tie the match 3-3.\u00a0
\n\tThe Mids are led by senior forward Andrew Schug, who has nine points on four goals and an assist. Sophomore midfielder Duncan Sullivan follows him, posting three goals and two assists.\u00a0
\n\tSenior Robert Eaton has been in goal for the majority of the season, making 72 saves and holding a 1.25 GAA across 15 starts.\u00a0
\n\tNavy has conceded the third-most goals in the PL with 23, and the team’s last win came on Sept. 23 over Air Force 2-1.
