With the win, the Midshipmen secure the No. 2 overall seed and a first-round bye in the upcoming Patriot League Tournament.

"I am proud of the team for coming together and stringing together some goals and winning some draws. It was good to get some players in. It was a nice victory on the road. "It is great to be one of the top two seeds in our conference, second to a very strong Loyola team. I am very pleased coming through the conference. We have one more home game at home against BU. It will be a tough game, but also an opportunity to honor our seniors." Offensively, Navy scored 19 goals on 39 shots, including 27 on goal.
