The D&E Men's Soccer Team played the United States Naval Academy in an exhibition following the FOSS-FANS alumni game at the Soccer Complex. D&E's Makesi Bostic scored the Senators' lone goal and was the consensus "Man of the Match" despite the Midshipmen's 2-1 victory over the visitors from Elkins.
