Box Score

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (www.lafayette.edu) - The Lafayette men's soccer team dealt Navy its first defeat of the season, 1-0 on Saturday evening at Dewey Field.

Lafayette freshman Ralph Rapuano (Westfield, N.J./Westfield) scored just 17 seconds into the contest as the Leopards won their second game of the season. The score was Rapuano's first collegiate goal of his brief career.

Navy (9-1-1) outshot Lafayette in the match, 16-2, but the Leopards' defense quelled many of the Mids' scoring opportunities.

Navy keeper Brian Steckroth made one save in the match, while Lafayette's Craig Schroeder (Cranbury, N.J./Princeton) made six saves.

Rapuano's goal was the first goal scored on Navy and Steckroth in 663 minutes.

Lafayette (2-8, 1-1) returns to action on Monday at 7:30 p.m, when the Leopards travel to Richmond.
