Baltimore, MD --  Navy and Army will be kicking off the day of lacrosse action here at M&T Bank Stadium.  Navy comes into the day with a 5-6 record as they try to make their push into the NCAA tournament.  The designated home team, Army is posting a 5-5 record and is looking to come out with a winning record.  We have seen a lot Cadets and Midshipmen walking around the complex this afternoon.  There is nothing cooler than to see both of these teams sprint out of the locker room carrying the American flag.  Army comes into this game winning their last two game, both in overtime.  Those wins over Colgate and Bucknell are real good resume builders as we get closer to tournament time.  Navy leads the all time series 57-27-3 winning the last 9 out of 10.  (Be sure to refresh often for the latest updates)
