LAST TIMEOUT
On Aug. 28, HU suffered their first setback of the season with a 2-1 decision in favor of LaSalle. In a contest where both teams combined for only 12 shots, Howard capitalized on one of their three attempts, thanks to senior
Victor Guirma (New Paltz, N.Y.).
MATCHUP PREVIEW
HOWARD
Howard (1-1) comes into the week following a road loss at La Salle, 2-1. Guirma has paced the offense with two goals on three shots while junior
Andres Gomez (Silver Spring, Md.) also scored a goal in the season opener against Bryant. Junior goalkeeper
Carlos Caro (Silver Spring, Md.) has notched six total saves in two matches while posting a .667 save percentage and a 1.50 goals-against average in his 180 minutes of work.
NAVY
Navy (0-3-1) continues its search for their first win of the season. Sunday (Sept. 2), the Midshipmen rallied from a one-goal halftime deficit against the College of Charleston to snap their three-match skid to start the season. Jacob Williams scored his first collegiate goal in the 71
st minute to guide Navy to the draw. Wednesday's contest will be the first meeting between the two teams since 2012 with the Bison leading the all-time series 12-11-4.
YALE
Like Howard, Yale (1-1) started its 2018 campaign with a season opening victory at Quinnipiac, 1-0. Monday (Sept. 3), the Bulldogs suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of Fairfield, 2-1. Senior Kyle Kenagy and freshman Paolo Carroll have scored Yale's lone two goals on the season.
