WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — William & Mary men's soccer closes out its three-game homestand Tuesday evening, welcoming Navy to Martin Family Stadium at Albert-Daly Field for the Midshipmen's first visit to Williamsburg since 1997.

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m., with the match streamed live on FloCollege and the FloSports Channel on Prime Video.

Clear Bag Policy and Metal Detectors 
Furthering its commitment to a first class and secure environment at home athletic events, William & Mary has implemented the use of walk-through metal detectors at the entrances to athletic venues (both ticketed and non-ticketed events). This enhanced security method mirrors standard practice at most major professional and intercollegiate athletic events throughout the country and compliments the Clear Bag Policy already in place. Fans will proceed through metal detectors prior to having their tickets scanned or entering a venue for non-tickets events. Entrants will not need to remove items such as belts, cell phones, coins, jackets, jewelry, watches, wallets, shoes or other small objects. If additional screening is necessary, security staff will ask the individual to proceed to a secondary screening area, where they will be asked to divest themselves of certain items and pass through again until clear.

THE TRIBE. William & Mary enters Tuesday at 6-5-1 overall following a dominant 4-0 victory over Howard on Thursday evening.

Freshman Aidan Gatchell recorded the first multi-goal game of his collegiate career, scoring twice and adding an assist to finish with a career-high five points. Freshman Brown Huffard and sophomore Beckham Harris also found the back of the net as the Tribe scored three second-half goals.

The victory marked W&M's sixth win of the season, the program's most since winning seven games in 2021. The four-goal performance was the Tribe's highest scoring output since a 4-1 victory over Radford on Aug. 23.

William & Mary has scored 25 goals through 12 matches, ranking second in the CAA with 2.08 goals per game. The Tribe has been particularly productive in the second half, scoring 17 of its 25 goals after halftime.

GATCHELL GETTING IT DONE. Gatchell continues to shine during his freshman campaign, leading the Tribe with 16 points on five goals and six assists.

The freshman was named the CAA Rookie of the Week on Monday following his five-point performance against Howard, earning the first weekly conference honor of his collegiate career.

Gatchell ranks second in the CAA with 16 points and is tied for fifth in the league with five goals. His five goals are the most by a W&M freshman in a single season since Alexander Levengood scored seven in 2019.

Gatchell has scored three goals over his last two matches and has recorded a point in seven of W&M's last eight contests. His six assists are tied with senior Gabe Ruitenberg for the team lead.

LEADING THE WAY. Ruitenberg ranks second on the Tribe with 14 points on four goals and six assists.

The senior recorded two assists in Thursday's victory over Howard and continues to lead W&M with 29 shots and 16 attempts on goal.

Ruitenberg and sophomore Alex Garrison are tied for the CAA lead with two game-winning goals apiece. Garrison has scored four goals this season, matching Huffard and Ruitenberg for second on the team.

GARCIARENA IN GOAL. Senior Diego Garciarena has started all 12 matches in goal for the Tribe, recording 45 saves and three shutouts.

Garciarena owns a 6-5-1 record with a 1.67 goals-against average and a .692 save percentage. He has played 1,079 of W&M's 1,080 minutes this season.

The senior recorded his third clean sheet of the season and eighth of his collegiate career in Thursday's victory over Howard, making one save as the Tribe limited the Bison to just two shots.

Garciarena is tied for second in the CAA with three shutouts this season.

THE MIDSHIPMEN. Navy enters Tuesday at 3-5-4 overall and 1-3-1 in Patriot League action following a 4-3 victory over Army on Friday.

The Midshipmen have scored 14 goals through 12 matches while allowing 23, averaging 1.17 goals per contest. Navy has recorded four shutouts this season, including clean sheets against Presbyterian, Temple, Mount St. Mary's and Longwood.

Duncan Sullivan leads Navy with seven points on two goals and three assists. Will Smith has scored a team-high three goals, while Jack Illig has added six points on two goals and two assists. Nick Gallucci leads the Midshipmen with four assists.

TRIBE VS. MIDSHIPMEN. William & Mary holds an 8-5-4 advantage in the all-time series against Navy.

The programs last met on Aug. 25, 2025, playing to a 1-1 draw in Annapolis, Md.

W&M's most recent victory in the series came on Sept. 22, 2015, when the Tribe earned a 3-2 double-overtime victory in Annapolis.

Tuesday marks Navy's first trip to Williamsburg since Sept. 20, 1997, nearly three decades ago.
