The Navy men's soccer team opened its season at the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility, where it faced George Washington in a tightly contested match. Early in the contest, the Colonials struck first, capitalizing on a corner kick from Tommaso Lami that found Jake Poole heading home for the opening goal, and later added a second when Jaden Dubon crossed to Joe Brayson for a 2‑0 lead before the 23‑minute mark.
A Dominant Second Half Falls Short
Although the Midshipmen controlled possession for much of the second half, they were unable to generate clear chances, with only two shots on target that missed the mark. Captain Nate Stewart’s attempt sailed wide, while Sam Clark made a series of key saves, including a point‑blank stop of Axel Dickson’s strike in the 24th minute, keeping the deficit at two.
Goalkeeper Sam Clark’s efforts were matched by the defensive work of Tom Macauley, who denied several long‑range attempts from Keane Brown and Duncan Sullivan, but the Navy attack could not find a breakthrough. The match marked the debut of Alex Galloway for the Midshipmen, who will look to build on the experience as the team prepares to host Presbyterian on Monday at 1:05 p.m.
