BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh women's soccer team will look to prolong its five-game unbeaten streak when the Mountain Hawks travel to Annapolis, Md. on Wednesday to take on Navy. Wednesday's matchup will be the first of four Patriot League road games this season. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. from the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility. Live video of the match will be available on the Patriot League Network.
 
The Mountain Hawks are coming off a scoreless draw with Colgate on Saturday to move their overall record to 4-2-3 on the year and 0-0-2 in league play. Lehigh and Colgate were even with 12 shots apiece. After the Raiders held a 7-2 shots edge in the first half, the Mountain Hawks responded by holding an 8-2 advantage in the second.
 
Senior Ani Nahapetian tallied three saves in goal to pick up her 10th career shutout. Lehigh had several chance to take the lead late in regulation, along with some opportunities in overtime. Included was a goal waved off due to offsides. The final chance came late in the second overtime period when a shot from sophomore Alyssa Riporti off a corner kick sailed high.
 
Nahapetian has held her opponents scoreless in two straight matches and hasn't allowed a goal in 229:48 overall. She sits atop the Patriot League in saves per game with an average of 5.22. Her .825 save percentage and 1.04 goals against average ranks her second in the Patriot League. Nahapetian was recognized with the league's Goalkeeper of the Week award on Monday while sophomore Adrian Vitello was named Defensive Player of the Week. Nahapetian has now won two Goalie of the Week honors this season and four in her career.
 
Navy enters Wednesday's match with a mark of 6-4-2 after a 2-2 draw with Loyola on Saturday. The Mids also had a 2-2 draw at archrival Army West Point on Sept. 18. As a team, Navy leads the Patriot League in goal per game (2.50), ahead of the Mountain Hawks in second (2.33). The Mids' prolific offense is powered by sophomore Claire MacAdam. The reigning Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week leads the league in points (19) and goals (8). Freshman Eleanor Pratt sits atop the leaderboard in assists per game with an average of 0.50. Junior goalkeeper Dayton Wetherby has played in 11 games, starting ten with a 1.78 GAA and .765 save percentage.
 
The Mids lead the all-time series, owning a 16-4-4 advantage that includes a 2-0 victory over the Mountain Hawks last fall. Lehigh will look to snap a five-match skid against Navy.
 
Lehigh will return to action on Saturday when the Mountain Hawks travel to West Point, N.Y. to face Army West Point. The Patriot League matchup is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start.
